Move/Copy Worksheet with Macros
 
When I copy a set of worksheets from one workbook to another the macros don't
follow.

Let me Explain:

I copy worksheets from workbook A into workbook B and close workbook A.
Then from workbook B I select the command button to run a macro. What
happens is workbook A opens again and runs the macro. If I break the link
with workbook A in workbook B using Edit/Links the command button doesn't do
anything.

How can I move the worksheets into the new workbook and have them behave as
they did originally?

Thanks

A tiny trick:

Rather than copy sheets from Book A to Book B, make a "Book B" by making a
copy of Book A, removing material you don't want in B, adding material you do
want in B and then calling the modifed copy Book B.

The point is that by copying Book A, you will also copy all the included
macros.

Thanks for the quick response. The only problem with that is "Book B" also
contains macros that I need to keep. I am combining two workbooks, each
containing several macros.

Thanks.
