I wish to copy data (values only) from
Workbooks("A").Worksheets("A").Range("A") into
Workbooks("B").Worksheets("B").Range("B") without opening Workbook A. Is this
possible?

='C:\Directory\[excelfile.xls]Sheet1'!A1

This formula will get the data for you (you will have to change the directory
and file name of course). This formula only retrieves data not formulas

Not directly. He meant do it with code I am sure (this is the fastest way to
do it)

say you wanted A1:A10 from sheet1 of the closed work in F1:F10 of the
activesheet


Sub GetDate()
With Range("F1:F10")
.Formula = "='C:\Directory\[excelfile.xls]Sheet1'!A1"
.Formula = .Value
End With
End Sub

If you closed file is like a data base and you want to "pull the data", you
can use ADO.

Another way is to open the file after you turn screen updating off.
Transfer the information, then close it.

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' open the file and get the info
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

no one is the wiser unless it takes a long time to open the workbook.

Thanks for your response. You mean enter
='C:\Directory\[excelfile.xls]Sheet1'!A1 as a cell formula? I am sorry but I
think I was unclear about my problem. I am looking for a way to copy a range
from an un-opened Workbook A into an opened workbook B using VBA. Can this
be done?

Thanks again for your consideration.
