Copy range to / from CSV file
 

I receive a CSV file each morning and have to copy range E2:E22 and copy it
to a XLS sheet (calculator) range H2:H22 then copy I2:I22 form the XLS sheet
to a second CSV file range F2:F22.

I assume that this is probably not too difficult but not quite sure where to
begin, other than the macro would have to be in the XLS file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Copy range to / from CSV file
 

Start by recording a macro whilst perform those actions.
This will give you the basic code.

If the filenames remain constant, that will work.
If they change each day, check the help for GetOpenFileName and incorporate
it into your code.

I tried to record a macro copying from the CSV and pasting to the xls but got
an error message

run-time error '1004':
Paste method of Worksheet class failed

This is the code generated

Sub import()
'
' import Macro
' Macro recorded 6/14/2007 by Administrator
'

'
Range("E2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

I also tried a drag and drop without any luck

You are opening the .csv in Excel ?
If not, then E2:E22 means nothing.

If you are opening in Excel, then the macro recorder will get the file name
and copy/paste actions.

But do you open the csv IN Excel ?
If you open the .csv in another program before you copy, then Excel has no
way to know what you are doing.

Excel can open csv natively, in case you did not know.

Do you mean a second instance of Excel ?
Look in the task manager and see how many Excel you have.

Also post the code that you have for the opening and copy/paste so far.
