Copy Cells from one excel application to another
Hi. I have two excel applications open (on seperate monitors) I want to
use VBA to copy information from one spreadsheet application to a different spreadsheet. Manually I would activate the 1st application with the mouse, copy then activate the other application and paste. I'd like to automate this I'm not sure how to reference the two open excel applications. Thanks for any help!! |

The macro recorder just shows the commands from the one excel applicaton .. ie the select and paste, not the select and copy from the other excell application. |

Copy Cells from one excel application to another
Hi Bill,
It seems this is a more advanced question than I can answer, but I'm curious. . . 1. Are the two monitors connected to one computer? 2. Is having to excel applications open the same as having two workbooks open? Dan The macro recorder just shows the commands from the one excel applicaton .. ie the select and paste, not the select and copy from the other excell application. |

Why multiple instances of XL? you can do two monitors with just one
instance... Check out this link... http://www.cpearson.com/excel/MultipleMonitors.aspx If you still need to have multiple instances then you are pretty much on your own. There is no easy way to get one instance to recognize the other. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "Bill-41" wrote: Hi.

As a guess I would say that Bill 41 has 2 monitors connected to the same
computer. he has opened two instances of XL and placed one on each monitor. One instance of XL can have multiple workbooks open in it. The same as one workbook can have many sheets in it. You can also open up multiple instances of XL. If you do that then one instance knows nothing about the other instances and there is no easy wy to have a workbook in one instance communicate with a workbook in another instance. -- HTH...

Hi Jim. Yes, that's the setup I have. Two instances just seemed simple
enough when doing the copying manually. One instance on each monitor. Thanks for the link!!!! Looks like it should be very usefull :-) "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: Why multiple instances of XL? you can do two monitors with just one instance...
