Default Need help moving a worksheet to another workbook.

When I select the worksheet to be moved and to the Edit menu and click- Move
or Copy Sheet- the workbook to which I want to move the worksheet doesn't
appear in the To BOX , eventhough I have the receiving workbook open. What
must I do to have the new workbook listed in the TO BOX so I can complete the
worksheet's move?

Perhaps you have each workbook open in its own instance of Excel?

Close one instance and open both workbooks in a single instance.

Close one of the instances of excel.

Then in the remaining running instance, use File|Open to open the 2nd workbook.

Do you know for sure you have two instances running?

Close one of them then in the other, FileOpen and select a file to open the
second file.

Now both will be in a single instance.

To prevent in the future try the usual fix.

ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications"

If no joy with that................

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.

In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK.
