Exce Macros
I must admit that I am a little confused by this. I think I understand the
general gist of things but I am not sure how to customize it to my workbooks. I will play around with it next week and if I have problems will let you know. Many thanks for you help. -- LPS "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: I just reread my response and it assumes taht you have a certian amount of understanding.

It modifies a workbook called That.xls. It first checks if the book is open. if not it opens it. There is a workbook object called wbkTarget that gives you a reference to the workbook we are manipulating. The code is running in "ThisWorkbook". Sub ModifyOtherBook() Dim wbkTarget As Workbook On Error Resume Next Set wbkTarget = Workbooks("That.xls") On Error GoTo 0 If wbkTarget Is Nothing Then Workbooks.Open ("C:\That.xls") wbkTarget.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = "Tada" End Sub -- HTH...

It doesn't matter where the execution ends. -- LPS "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: Yes...ish but we need a little more clarification. Do you want to 1. manipulate another workbook 2. run code that exists in another workbook Bare in mind the the thread of execution will always end in the workbook that began the process, but that workbook does not need to be the active workbook when the code ends. -- HTH...

If so, is there any special code or actions you need to do to make it work? Thanks, -- LPS |
