Hi there!
could any one help me out from a problem in Excel-VBA. I want to update the
row of a worksheet through user form. I did it successfully, but in the same
workbook. Now the real problem is this I want to update the others workbook's
worksheet. Here what I already did .

Private Sub cmdAddStudent_Click()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Students")

'find first empty row in database
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

'check for a Student Name
If Trim(Me.txtStudentName.Value) = "" Then
Me.txtStudentName.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please enter a Student Name"
Exit Sub
End If

'copy the data to the database
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = Me.txtStudentName.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = Me.txtClassId.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = Me.txtStudentID.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 4).Value = Me.txtRegNo.Value

'clear the data
Me.txtStudentName.Value = ""
Me.txtClassId.Value = ""
Me.txtStudentID.Value = ""
Me.txtRegNo.Value = ""
Me.txtStudentName.SetFocus
End Sub

The code is working fine but i want to update the same record in another
worksheet which is present in another workbook on network.

The path for that file is

\\sharedrive\ShareFile\Public\StuData.xls

and Worksheet's name is

Students


please guys help me out.

HI, try adding this after you copy to the 1st database:

myFileNameDir = "\\sharedrive\ShareFile\Public\StuData.xls"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=myFileNameDir, UpdateLinks:=0
Set ws = ActiveSheet.Name

'copy the data to the 2nd database
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = Me.txtStudentName.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = Me.txtClassId.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = Me.txtStudentID.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 4).Value = Me.txtRegNo.Value
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Correction: Not ActiveSheet.Name...

Workbooks.Open Filename:=myFileNameDir, UpdateLinks:=0
Set ws = ActiveSheet
