when i go into vbe the macro is not on the right. I noticed that if the file
with the macro is open and I go to macros, it has numbered the macro ( module
63).

To make it simple, how do I copy module 63 which is the macro I want to
send? Also once I send module 63, how does the user apply that to a file ?

Don't send the file which the macro was applied to.

Send the file that contains the macro.

I don't think I explained it well enough. The receipient and I both work for
the same company. I have to download an xl file from the company server and
once downloaded i apply the macro. The file is a backlog file so the data
changes every day. He'll aslo have to download the data into xl and apply the
macro. So I need to email just the macro. If I send him the file which the
macro was applied to that does not do him any good unless he can grab the
macro form the file and apply it to a new download. So i need to know how to
mail just the macro. When I go into the workbook that has all my macros, it
just looks blank, i don't see anything copy.

That's exactly why I suggested just emailing the workbook with the macro.

thanks to all of you but I need detailed step by step instructions on exactly
how to "import the file (module)" and for that matter the entire process.
I've never used VBE before but I'm willing to try, I'm not advanced as you
guys.

thx,

I think you're going to have to tell the recipient to save the text of the
message (or the attachment) somewhere.

Then you have to explain to open excel, open the VBE, find the correct project
and import that file. Then tell the user how to run the macro.

It sounds much more difficult than just emailing a .xls file.

You haven't avoided the problem. You've just passed the problem to the

of a
macro (in my experience).

or why don't you do it the way I said originally and avoid all the

not how I see it

all you need to do is import the file (module), you don't need to
"touch" the text of the macro itself. (unless I'm completely missing
the point)

I may admittedly not explained the process that well... :oops:
