Hi:
I am having a minor syntax problem. I wish to store the name and path of the spreadsheet I am in( which is variable), and copy some data from a spreadsheet that has a known name and location. I am attempting to save the file name and path of the sheet I am on, and then switch back and forth between the two sheets using the windows.activate function. The problem is that i don't know the correct syntax to refer to a variable in that command. The code is as follows (in part): Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("Input").Select installpath = ActiveWorkbook.Path installname = ActiveWorkbook.Name installfile = installpath &/& installname <----VARIABLE NAMED HERE Workbooks.Open(FileName:="C:\ipt\timesheets\Timesh eet.xls").RunAutoMacros _ Which:=xlAutoOpen Sheets("input").Select Range("C5:D7").Select Selection.Copy Windows(installfile).Activate <<<<----THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS! Range("C5").Select Can someone please tell me the correct way to refer to this variable field? Incidentally, could I have used "ActiveWorkbook.FullName" and got the whole name and path in one command? Thanks a lot John Baker |
