Need help with Macro
 

I have created the code to copy some cells from another workbook. It works fine, but same code, if I copy and use it for another worksheet, it gives me error "subscript out of range"

Here is the code that works
Sub IllTaxReturn(

' IllTaxReturn Macr
' Macro recorded 05/28/2004 by KPAWA

Dim x As Varian
Dim y As Varian
Dim z As Varian

Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(86, 5).Copy Sheets("IllTaxReturn").Cells(14, 4

y = Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(86, 7).Valu
Sheets("IllTaxReturn").Cells(19, 4) =

Workbooks("Mar-04.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(23, 2).Copy Sheets("IllTaxReturn").Cells(23, 4

x = Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(34, 5).Valu
Sheets("IllTaxReturn").Cells(90, 4) =

z = Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(34, 7).Valu
Sheets("IllTaxReturn").Cells(95, 4) =

End Su


Here is the code that doesn't
Sub ALTaxReturn(

' Alabama TaxReturn Macr
' Macro recorded 05/28/2004 by KPAWA

Dim x As Varian
Dim y As Varian
'Dim z As Varian


Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(9, 5).Copy Sheets("ALTaxReturn").Cells(14, 4
'x = Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(9, 5).Valu
'Sheets("ALTaxReturn").Cells(14, 4) =
y = Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(9, 7).Valu
Sheets("ALTaxReturn").Cells(19, 4) =

Workbooks("Mar-04.xls").Sheets("Mar-04").Cells(10, 2).Copy Sheets("ALTaxReturn").Cells(23, 4

End Su

It gives me error on very first line, which is very similar to previous code

Thank

Is it not because you use the workbook name in the code

Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls")

try replacing with

Activeworkbook

Mar-2004 is another worksheet, if I say Active workbook then wouldn't it refer to the the Active workbook which has the sheet called "ALTaxReturn"? IllTaxReturn and ALTaxReturn are in different work book than Mar-2004.xls

Thanks

Workbooks("Mar-2004.xls") is a workbook not a worksheet. Sheets("Mar-04")
is a worksheet.

Sorry for not being clear. Yes, I agree and I wrote the macro in the Workbook called TaxReturn.xls which has sheets ALTaxReturn and IllTaxReturn. Does it make sense
Thanks for your help.

Kalpana,

That message means that it cannot find a named object, so either
- there is no workbook named "Mar-2004.xls"
- "Mar-2004.xls" doesn't have a sheet called "Mar-04"
- the activeworkbook doesn't have a sheet called "ALTaxReturn"

Have you double-checked all of these?
