Good moring all,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:

file1.xls

copy worksheet1 from file1.xls

and then insert into file2.xls without overwriting file1.xls completely.

The reason - I have one master xls file with multiple named worksheets.
Each worksheet relates to another xls file and on a weekly basis I want the
master xls file's different worksheets updated so the worksheets are
replaced but the main master xls file is not. All I've accomplished so far
is below:

Public Sub TransferData()

'Disable screen updating while the subroutine is run
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Unprotect all Register worksheet
Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

'Define Variables
Dim szThisFileName As String
Dim szFileName As String
Dim szWindowName As String
Dim szNotes As String
Dim szPETNumber As String
Dim Response As Integer

'Set initial values
szThisFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
szWindowName = "Test Risk Transfer.xls"
szFileName = "C:\" & szWindowName
iRow = 1

'Check if user wants to continue
If MsgBox("This facility is only for transfering information into " _
+ "the BISTD Central Register repository database. " _
+ "Are you sure you want to continue?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbNo
Then
Exit Sub
End If

'Check if there is any data to transfer
Worksheets("Register").Select
If ActiveSheet.Range("C2") = "" Then
MsgBox ("There are no risks in the Register to " _
+ "transfer.")
ActiveSheet.Protect
Exit Sub
End If

What does the below have to do with your question? It appears to be writing
information to a new workbook, not replacing sheets in an existing workbook.
What actually is your question.

Sorry for not being clear.....

As above, originally a copy of one sheet from the xls file was copied to a
newly created xls file.

Instead of that the new xls file will have been already created but I want
the vb to copy a defined worksheet across to this this file. There will be
multiple sheets each of which will be fed by different xls files

Dim bk1 as Workbook
Dim bk2 as Workbook
Dim sh1 as Worksheet
Dim sh2 as Worksheet
Dim idx as LOng
set bk1 = Workbooks("ABC.xls")
set bk2 = Workbooks("EFG.xls")
set sh1 = Bk1.Worksheets("Sheet1")
on Error Resume Next
set sh2 = bk2.worksheets(sh1.name)
On Error goto 0
if not sh2 is nothing then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
if idx 1 then
sh1.copy after:=bk2.sheets(idx-1)
else
sh1.copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
end if
else
sh1.copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.count)
end if

The above will copy Sheet1 from ABC.xls to EFG.xls. If there is a sheet1 in
EFG.xls, it will replace it. If not, it will add it at the end.

Hopefully you can adapt a similar approach to your code.

Hi Tom,

Have tried the following but to no avail...

Public Sub TransferData()

Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim idx As Long
Set bk1 = Workbooks("c:\test1.xls") <Stops here - error9 out of range
Set bk2 = Workbooks("c:\test.xls")
Set sh1 = bk1.Worksheets("Register")
On Error Resume Next
Set sh2 = bk2.Worksheets("RegisterCopy")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sh2 Is Nothing Then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If idx 1 Then
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Sheets(idx - 1)
Else
sh1.Copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
End If
Else
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.Count)
End If
End Sub

Definately alot simpler than my first approach...

Sorry for not being clear.....

As above, originally a copy of one sheet from the xls file was copied to
a
newly created xls file.

Instead of that the new xls file will have been already created but I
want
the vb to copy a defined worksheet across to this this file. There will
be
multiple sheets each of which will be fed by different xls files

Set bk1 = Workbooks("c:\test1.xls") <Stops here - error9 out of range
Set bk2 = Workbooks("c:\test.xls")

if the workbooks are already open, then don't use the path, just use the
workbook name. Otherwise you need to open them

set Bk1 = Workbooks("Test1.xls")

or

set Bk1 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Text1.xls")

Also, If you want sheet register to replace sheet registercopy, you would
modify the code like this

Assumes both workbooks are open and the activeworkbook is the workbook
containing the data to be copied (since you activate a sheet named
register).

Public Sub TransferData()

Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim idx As Long
Set bk1 = ActiveWorkbook
Set bk2 = Workbooks("test.xls")
Set sh1 = bk1.Worksheets("Register")
On Error Resume Next
Set sh2 = bk2.Worksheets("RegisterCopy")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sh2 Is Nothing Then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If idx 1 Then
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Sheets(idx - 1)
Else
sh1.Copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
End If
Else
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.Count)
End If
Activesheet.Name = "RegisterCopy"
End Sub

Hi Tom,

Have tried the following but to no avail...

Public Sub TransferData()

Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim idx As Long
Set bk1 = Workbooks("c:\test1.xls") <Stops here - error9 out of range
Set bk2 = Workbooks("c:\test.xls")
Set sh1 = bk1.Worksheets("Register")
On Error Resume Next
Set sh2 = bk2.Worksheets("RegisterCopy")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sh2 Is Nothing Then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If idx 1 Then
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Sheets(idx - 1)
Else
sh1.Copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
End If
Else
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.Count)
End If
End Sub

Definately alot simpler than my first approach...

The above will copy Sheet1 from ABC.xls to EFG.xls. If there is a
sheet1
in
EFG.xls, it will replace it. If not, it will add it at the end.

Hopefully you can adapt a similar approach to your code.

Good moring all,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:

file1.xls

copy worksheet1 from file1.xls

and then insert into file2.xls without overwriting file1.xls
completely.

The reason - I have one master xls file with multiple named
worksheets.
Each worksheet relates to another xls file and on a weekly basis I
want
the
master xls file's different worksheets updated so the worksheets
are
replaced but the main master xls file is not. All I've
accomplished

Tom - many thanks that works! Just to verge on being cheeky, how do I get

Sorry for not being clear.....

As above, originally a copy of one sheet from the xls file was
copied
to
a
newly created xls file.

Instead of that the new xls file will have been already created
but
I
want
the vb to copy a defined worksheet across to this this file.
There
will
be
multiple sheets each of which will be fed by different xls files

bk2.Close SaveChanges:=False (or True)

Tom - many thanks that works! Just to verge on being cheeky, how do I get
the receiving workbook (RegisterCopy) to close after transfer?

Set bk1 = Workbooks("c:\test1.xls") <Stops here - error9 out of range
Set bk2 = Workbooks("c:\test.xls")

if the workbooks are already open, then don't use the path, just use the
workbook name. Otherwise you need to open them

set Bk1 = Workbooks("Test1.xls")

or

set Bk1 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Text1.xls")

Also, If you want sheet register to replace sheet registercopy, you
would
modify the code like this

Assumes both workbooks are open and the activeworkbook is the workbook
containing the data to be copied (since you activate a sheet named
register).

Public Sub TransferData()

Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim idx As Long
Set bk1 = ActiveWorkbook
Set bk2 = Workbooks("test.xls")
Set sh1 = bk1.Worksheets("Register")
On Error Resume Next
Set sh2 = bk2.Worksheets("RegisterCopy")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sh2 Is Nothing Then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If idx 1 Then
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Sheets(idx - 1)
Else
sh1.Copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
End If
Else
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.Count)
End If
Activesheet.Name = "RegisterCopy"
End Sub

Hi Tom,

Have tried the following but to no avail...

Public Sub TransferData()

Worksheets("Register").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk2 As Workbook
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim idx As Long
Set bk1 = Workbooks("c:\test1.xls") <Stops here - error9 out of
range
Set bk2 = Workbooks("c:\test.xls")
Set sh1 = bk1.Worksheets("Register")
On Error Resume Next
Set sh2 = bk2.Worksheets("RegisterCopy")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not sh2 Is Nothing Then
idx = sh2.Index
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sh2.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If idx 1 Then
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Sheets(idx - 1)
Else
sh1.Copy befo=bk2.Sheets(2)
End If
Else
sh1.Copy after:=bk2.Worksheets(bk2.Worksheets.Count)
End If
End Sub

Definately alot simpler than my first approach...

The above will copy Sheet1 from ABC.xls to EFG.xls. If there is a
sheet1
in
EFG.xls, it will replace it. If not, it will add it at the end.

Hopefully you can adapt a similar approach to your code.

Good moring all,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:

file1.xls

copy worksheet1 from file1.xls

and then insert into file2.xls without overwriting file1.xls
completely.

The reason - I have one master xls file with multiple named
worksheets.
Each worksheet relates to another xls file and on a weekly
basis
I
want
the
master xls file's different worksheets updated so the
worksheets
are
replaced but the main master xls file is not. All I've
accomplished
so
far
is below:

Public Sub TransferData()

If you want to send a copy to , then sure; I would
appreciate that.

Hopefully from that I will be able to figure out what a risk and issue
register is since it isn't something I am familiar with. I am always eager
to be educated.

I marvel at some of the neat stuff that people do with workbooks -- I have,
on occasion, received some pretty "stunning" workbooks from people asking
for help. It is always interesting for me.

So thank you.

Tom - I've now almost finished a risk and issue register which also maps
risks onto a matrix - would you like a copy for your amusement?
