The book where the code is running is always Thisworkbook so there really is
no need to declare an object for it. For this example I will do it anyway...

Dim wbkA As Workbook
Dim wbkB As Workbook
Dim wksA1 As Worksheet
Dim wksB1 As Worksheet
Dim var As Variant

Set wbkA = ThisWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
Set wbkB = Workbooks("BookB.xls")
On Error GoTo 0
If wbkB Is Nothing Then Set wbkB = Workbooks.Open("C:\BookB.xls")

Set wksA1 = wbkA.Sheets(1)
Set wksB1 = wbkB.Sheets(1)

'make BookB Sheet(1) cell A1 = BookA Sheet(1) cell A1
wksB1.Range("A1").Value = wksA1.Range("A1").Value
'make BookB Sheet(1) cell B1 = BookA Sheet(1) cell B1 with a variable
var = wksA1.Range("B1").Value
wksB1.Range("B1").Value = var

--
HTH...

I know this is very basic but I have two workbooks open and I declare (DIM)
and assign all workbook names and worksheet names. I simply want to take
values from specfic cells in workbookA.WorksheetA.Cell A1 and assign it to a
variable and then goto workbookB.etc. and put the value in cell A1.

How can I do this efficiently and then also how can I do this using variables?

Thanks....
