Hi

I have two .xls files, Learnmacs (lm) and Convoluted (cd) (some of you may
recognize these from earlier questions).

lm has 12 dates above which is a reference for these 12 dates. I have code
that finds the highest of these twelve dates and assigns that date to a
variable. Now all I want to do is open the second file - cd - search a range
of cells (A10:A20) for the reference, select the cell with the reference,
offset by 2 and paste the highest date. Here is the code I have so far (with
help from this Discussion group).

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()

Dim ref As Range, gethighest As Range
Set ref = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A19")
Set gethighest = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A20:C23")
highest = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(gethighest)
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\Serious
Stuff\TCSpreadsheets\Convoluted.xls")
cd = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Dim cdrefcol As Range
Set cdrefcol = Range("A10:A20")

ref is the variable holding the reference to search for
highest is the variable holding the highest date
cdrefcol is the range to search in cd for the reference (ref)
