Read/Write from/to a closed workbook
 

Using a macro, how can I write the value from
Workbooks("Wb1").Range("Rng1") to Workbooks("Wb2").Range("Rng2") when
"Wb2" is closed?

Conversely, how can I read the value from
Workbooks("Wb2").Range("Rng2") into Workbooks("Wb1").Range("Rng1") when
"Wb2" is still closed?

I don't want to use links because I need complete control over the
event and I need to pass data in both directions.

Look at the thread in this NG from 11 June:
Problem with file finding macro.

that really isn't supported unless your range is organized like a database

If it is, you can treat the file as a database and use ADO

Tom, if the range is a single cell can I do it then? And if so, how??

Thanks,
