Hi,

I thought I'd seen posts on this while looking for other information but now
I need them they are not coming up on any of my searches.

Can I copy cells from a sheet in one workbook into a sheet in another
workbook, but not as a link, the actual value?

Thanks for your help.

Try recording a macro when you do it manually and you'll have useable code.

Dim RngToCopy as range
dim DestCell as range

set rngtocopy = workbooks("book1.xls").worksheets("sheet999").rang e("x9:z15")
set destcell = workbooks("book2.xls").worksheets("sheet888").rang e("a1")

rngtocopy.copy
destcell.pastespecial paste:=xlpastevalues

application.cutcopymode = false

======
or just assign the value:
with rngtocopy
destcell.resize(.rows.count,.columns.count).value = .value
end with

Yes you can copy cells between workbooks. It will be something like this
(untested but this should be close)...

dim rngCopyFrom as range
Dim wbkCopyTo as workbook
dim rngCopyTo as Range

on error resume next
set wbkCopyto = workbooks("MyFile.xls")
if wbkcopyto is nothing then
set wbkcopyto = workbooks.open("C:\MyFile.xls")
on error goto 0
if wbkcopyto is nothing then
msgbox "Sorry... Can't find the destination file."
else
set rngcopyfrom = thisworkbook.sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
set rngcopyto = wbkcopyto.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")

rngcopyto.value = rngcopyfrom.value
wbkcopyto.close

My thanks to you both.

I shall boldly(?) go where this person has never gone before.

Good luck!

Here's hoping you don't end up on Boston Legal with the mad cow!
