How can I get excell to import data from a closed workbook. Then when changes
have been made, export and save the data to the workbook the data came from,
overwriting what is contained in it.

why not just open the closed WB with code, make all the
changes with code the save and close the WB with code.

ChDir "S:\PUBLIC\Some"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\data\PUBLIC\youfile.xls"
put code to make changes goes here
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close

I cant do that as the code that is in the current workbook is written in a
way that it has to be the only one open. Otherwise it falls over with Run
Time errors. If it where that easy I would not be bald from pulling my hair
out. :-)
