I have a need to build a Macro that will take an excel file (Which the
user specifies) and copies the contents of the second sheet (With a
specific name) into another workbook putting specific cells in specific
places in the second workbook. Then I need it to rename the file so we
know that the file has been input.

I'm not even sure where to start, I'm sure I can get the pieces for the
copying and pasting, but how to handle the file and such is going to be
a bit more difficult for me.

Can anyone lend a hand in leading me in the right direction?

TIA

Hi
Try the following routines.

Function OpenWorkbook(ByRef wb As Workbook) As Boolean

Dim v As Variant

On Error GoTo OpenWorkbookError
v = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="(*.xls),* .xls")
If TypeName(v) = "Boolean" Then
'User Cancelled
GoTo OpenWorkbookError
Else
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open(v)
End If
OpenWorkbook = True

Exit Function
OpenWorkbookError:
OpenWorkbook = False

End Function

Function CopyWorkbook()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim wsNew As Worksheet

If OpenWorkbook(wb) Then
'do something
Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
'The worksheet you want to copy will replace
'abc below.
wb.Worksheets("abc").Copy Befo=wbNew.Worksheets(1)
Set wsNew = ActiveSheet

'To copy specific cells to the new worksheet created
'in the new workbook(now called wsNew) you do the following
wsNew.Cells(1, 1).Value = wb.Worksheets("pqr").Cells(1, 1).Value

'do other processing
wbNew.Close SaveChanges:=True
wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
End If
End Function

I think I get part of what you are doing here, the only problem is that
the form was created by someone else (The excel worksheet that I'm
copying FROM) and I don't want the format of the cells, I just need the
data IN the cells. But I think I can get that if I can get it opened
and Closed.

Let me try this and see how it goes.

Thanks a ton.
