Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a macro button that is installed when the my
workbook opens. Click on the button and viola, the macro
executes.

I would like to have this macro reside in my
personal.xls file. Therefore, I copied it over and closed
the original workbook. However, when I click the button,
the first workbook, which is now closed, opens and the
code executes on that workbook. How would I make the
button run "macro1" no matter which workbook is open I
want it to find the first and only occurance of macro1
among the open workbook(s) and execute that one?

Thanks in advance,

David Fixemer

Is there a hard coded file directory path in your macro coding? If so, change it to the correct path for the second file.

David,

Is the button being installed on that workbook only, and is it destroyed
when that WB is closed?

The button probably still points at the old WB, so you will need to add
installation code to Personal.xls, but be sure to make it a temporary
control
