Can I change this to work for a closed workbook
Below is my code which works fine. However, it requires the "Employee
Database.xls" file to already be open. How could I change my code so that it is pulling this data from a closed "Employee Database.xls" file? Sub UpdateCodeBook() ' ' Employees Macro ' Macro recorded 9/28/2004 by Shawn D. Crabtree ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+E Sheets("Names").Columns("A:C").ClearContents Windows("Employee Database.xls").Activate Sheets("Library").Range("C:C,E:E,BE:BE").Copy ActiveWindow.ActivateNext Sheets("Names").Select Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False Application.DisplayAlerts = False Windows("Employee DataBase.xls").Close Application.DisplayAlerts = True Sheets("Names").Select Range("A1").Select End Sub -- Thanks Shawn |

You can try saving "Employee Database.xls" as an addin. Then load the
file as an addin. Whenever you open excel the Employee Database will be open. A couple of Caveots... You will need to code a Workbook.Save action in the workbook before close event of the Employee Database. Also if multiple users will be working in this file at the same time, you may need to look into using MS Access instead of excel. Thanks, Chuck Shawn wrote: Below is my code which works fine.
