Copy to an existing wb or create new wb if it does not based on ce
Hi
If I had a customer name in Cell D5, which has been selected from a validation list is it possible to 1. check a summary sheet to see if the file already exists and if so add data to the next available row. The summary sheet would have the customer name in A4 downwards, B4 downwords would be the hyperlink to the file. 2. use that customer name to create a new file, would need to copy header row as well as data. Then update the summarry sheet to include the new Customer name and file path. At the moment I have a macro from RDB which copies all unique vales into new workbooks and creates this summary page with the hyperlinks. As more records gets added it may mean that the macro is creating 300 files which will take time. So I am looking at just adding the new reord to the existing file or create new. Any help and advise would be appreciated as always. Thankyou Winnie |

I have ended up with this but I can not seem to get it right, can you shed any light on what I am doing wrong please. With Worksheets("CurrentRecord") Customer = Range("F2") With Worksheets("CustomerLogSheet").Columns("A") Set C = Columns("A").Find(what:=Customer, _ LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) myFile = C.Offset(0, 1).Value If C Is Nothing Then Application.Run "Copy_To_Workbooks4" Else Set DestWB = Workbooks.Open(myFile) Sheets(1).Unprotect Password:="mypsswrd" End If "winnie123" wrote: Thanks Joel, I will have a play tonight after work to see if I can get it to work.

Hi Winnie
Looking at your code I see you don't set a reference to the With statement. Look at this and notice the leading dot in the statement "Set C=...". You also miss End With statements. Customer = Worksheets("CurrentRecord").Range("F2").Value With Worksheets("CustomerLogSheet").Columns("A") Set C = .Columns("A").Find(what:=Customer, _ LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) myFile = C.Offset(0, 1).Value End With If C Is Nothing Then Application.Run "Copy_To_Workbooks4" Else Set DestWB = Workbooks.Open(myFile) Sheets(1).Unprotect Password:="mypsswrd" End If Regards, Per On 8 Maj, 07:37, winnie123 wrote: I have tried but failed.
