Hi,

I have a workbook called matrixbook.xls that contains a seperate worksheet
for each day up to about 6 weeks ahead. After each day has been and gone I
need to open a workbook called archivebook.xls and move the sheets for the
day or sometimes days that have passed into the archivebook.xls

So its like this.

open archivebook.xls
move active sheets (the ones in matrixbook.xls) to archivebook.xls
save and close archivebook.xls

How do I do it please ?

Have both workbook open, select the sheet you wish to move and then use
EDIT-MOVE or COPY in the TO BOOK area select archivebook.xls in the BEFORE
SHEET area choose where you wish to move it to and press OK. If you check
the 'create a copy' box then the sheet is only copied not moved!

If you wish to move more than one sheet, hold the ctrl key and click each
worksheet tab before you use the edit move option.

I had assumed the fact that I posted this in the 'PROGRAMMING' group it
would be obvious I was looking for the VBA solution ?

No need to get antsy, the guy tried to help. We get many non-VBA questions
in this forum.

Anyway, assuming your sheets are dated, format such as 01-Jun-2005, then try

Dim oWb As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet

Set oWb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="Archivebook.xls")

For Each sh In Workbooks("matrixbook.xls").Worksheets
If DateValue(sh.Name) < Date Then
sh.Move Befo=oWb.Worksheets(oWb.Worksheets.Count)
End If
Next sh

Workbooks("matrixbook.xls").Save
oWb.Save
oWb.Close

So you want a VBA a solution? Then why not ask for one and provide
sufficient information to aid anybody willing to help.

Nigel,

Have patience - myself and many others have difficulty phrasing our
questions.

Since this is a programming group - I try to keep my responses to code. But
will offer any relatively simple spreadsheet solution also. Or vice-versa.

My experience has shown me that the user is trying to get from A to B and
needs a map. Sometimes the user wants the scenic route, sometimes the
shortest route, and sometimes the longest route. But he/she doesn't always
know how to ask.

So I just dig into my bag of tricks and show how I might do it...

Nigel,
An appropriate response might have been...<g
'---------------------
Sub MoveSheets()
Dim sht As Object
Do
For Each sht In Sheets
sht.Move after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Next
Loop
End Sub
