Performing code without opening the Workbook
 

The below working code opens the workbook and pastes cells as links from
another workbook. How can I make the below operation work without having to
actually open the workbook located in '"Workbooks.Open
Worksheets(4).Range("A6").Value"?

Workbooks.Open Worksheets(4).Range("A6").Value
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste Link:=True


Thank you

Hi Todd, :-)
You can use Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro, something like..


Code:
--------------------

Sub Test1()
Dim strTarget As String
strTarget = "'" & "CHANGE HERE TO FULL PATH to Book2.xls" & "\[Book2.xls]Sheet4'!R6C1"
Selection.Value = Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro(strTarget)
End Sub

--------------------

Hi Todd,

If you want a value from closed workbook then try this,

Sub Test()
ActiveCell.Formula = "='c:\mypath\[mywbname.xls]mysheetname'!a1"

'to remove link convert it to value
ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value

End Sub
