Default referencing the activecell

I'm stumped. I am wanting to copy information from cells in workbook
A to workbook B. I want to cycle through several rows but would
rather not bounce back and forth activating each WB. Is there a way
to reference the active cell in each workbook?

I tried setting a variable to the worksheet but it doesn't like it.

Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws1 = wb1.Worksheets(2)

Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open(strDir & strFile)
Set ws2 = wb.Worksheets(2)
ws1.Activecell = ws2.Activecell <---- This is the line I
want to use but this code doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

As well as what Bob has said, watch out for typos - e.g.:

Set ws2 = wb2.Worksheets(2) and not

Set ws2 = wb.Worksheets(2)

This is why it's best to set Option Explicit, as it'll pick up on
typos/errors like this.
