Sheets are contained within books. You have to open the book to get the
sheet... -- HTH...

A worksheet must be contained within a workbook. There is no such
thing as a sheet without a containing workbook. You must open the workbook and then go to the desired worksheet. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "bigdaddy3" wrote in message ...

Do you know the name of the sheet? If so then just open the book and
reference the sheet that you want. dim wbk as workbook dim wks as worksheet set wbk = workbooks.open "C:'MyBook.xls" set wks = wbk.Sheet1 wks is now referencing sheet1 in MyBook. -- HTH...

I want a macro that can open a worksheet in a closed workbook
Is it possible to create a 4th workbook with a sheet containing the cells you
only want updated so the user doesn't see the other sheets or cells you don't want them to, then link your updates to the 4th workbook?

I want a macro that can open a worksheet in a closed workbook
That code opens the workbook referenced to the variable wbk. You indicate in
a later thread that you have three books to work with... The code will look like this dim wbkThis as workbook dim wbkThat as workbook dim wbkTheOther as workbook set wbkThis = workbooks.open "C:\This.xls" set wbkThat = workbooks.open "C:\That.xls" set wbkTheOther = workbooks.open "C:\TheOther.xls" This give you workbook objects that you can reference directly through your code. Once created they will last for the balance of the procedure call. They can also be passed to other procedure the same as any other variable. This code will take the place of your file open code. Note the books can be closed simply by addin the lines wbkThis.close wbkThat.close wbkTheOther.close -- HTH...
