Hi LF,

To make a complete replica, you'd be better off simply copying the file with
Windows Explorer. Otherwise, if your source workook has multiple sheets with
formulae referring to different sheets, you're likely to end up with the
links to the original source workbook, not the copy.

Having said that, if you really want to copy & paste everything, use Ctrl-A
then Ctrl-C to copy the sourceworksheet, then Ctrl-V to paste it into the
target.

Cheers

Hello,

I have a workbook open and I want to populate it with the content of
another
xls file. How can I do that. I wan everything transferred: values,
formulas,
embedded object, formatting, everyhting. I figured that I coould do a
sheet
by sheet copy/paste (of course, enumerating the sheets and chart sheets in
the source document, recreating them in the destination document and then
doing the copy), but I am having a hard time copying over anything else
than
values. Also, where are the macros stored? In each sheet or are they
workbook specific? Is there anything else to copy over to make the opened
document identic to the one I am copying from?

Because the destination workbook is already open, I cannot do a SaveCopyAs
on the source workbook and then open that. I need to work with the one
that
is already opened.

Any help or guidance is greately appreciated, thank you.

Regards,
Levente
