Hi

Is it possible to open a workbook, but not activate it

My problem is that I need to open a workbook to get data from (MASTER), but
I then need to open (SLAVE) again to get the criteria from, but (SLAVE) has
not been saved at this point. I tried to save the (SLAVE), but with no luck
as follows


' fname is the (SLAVE) workbook

fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
Workbooks.Open "MASTER"
Workbooks(fname).Activate

Thanks
