Hi,

I've found this wonderful code from John's website. Which retrieve a
value from a closed workbook.

However, I need a code to do the opposite. Eg: To Put or Write a value
to a closed workbook.

Is there a way?

Thanks.

you can't do that
your code would need to open the workbook then save/close it

dim wb as workbook
dim sWBname as string
sWBname = "{full path and name}"
set wb=WorkbooksOpen(sWBname )
' do something to it
wb.worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")=Date
wb.Close True ' true saves, false doesn't save
set wb = Nothing ' cleanup
