Default Copy between variable workbook names

I create two workbooks from a template. That works, but then I want to copy
from the one and Paste Special as values - sheet for sheet. (The one
workbook is linked to an Access db. I do not wish to work with the live
data).

My attemp so far:

Dim SourceWB As Workbook
Dim TargetWB As Workbook
Set SourceWB = "Backup " & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".xls" (File
successfully created earlier and still open)
Set TargetWB = "ValuesOnly " & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".xls" (File
successfully created earlier and still open)
Windows("SourceWB").Activate

Then the copying should start. Exact dupes sheets (July, Aug, etc) from
template, but paste special as values required. I have recorded a macro to
do this.

My questions:
- SourceWB to TargetWB above don't work and I'm struggling to debug.
ActiveWorkbook.Next won't work if the user has a third workbook open (I
think).
- Copying between workbooks with exact same sheet names can be easier than
with my recorded macro?

Thanks for any advice.
