I recorded a macro that copies cells from one workbook(the name never
changes) to another workbook(the name changes each time a report is
generated), but I realized the name of the report/workbook is in the
macro. How do I change the name to indicate that it is to paste it into
whatever report I'm working on or is there a macro that does away with
this problem? Thanks!!

Dear Lilbit:

You can try using a a custom form, inputboxs, calling the macro from the
sheet it is to be copies to or use cells in worksheet to record the workbook
and worksheet.

The easiest is the call the macro from the sheet that the cells are to be
copies to:
' copy cell A1 on sheet 1 from the fixed workbook FROM.XLS to the active
sheet.
sub copycell()
activesheet.range("A1") = workbook("FROM.XLS").worksheets("Sheet
1").range("A1)
end sub

I leave the other methods for your inverstigation.

Hi Lilbit
Play with this, you can use
Application.ScreenUpdating = False/true
Dim wsName As String
wsName = InputBox(Prompt:="Paste to workbook", Title:="workbook name",
Default:="")
Workbooks(wsName).Worksheets(1).Activate

or use copy, destination:=Workbooks(wsName).Worksheets(1).range ("A1")
