I am working on a project that will read data from a *.csv file and
process it in a new workbook. The new workbook will have the macro to
handle this process. I have a couple questions:

I am assuming a file must be open in order to extract data.

Does the *.csv file have to be activated after the file is open in order
to begin processing data? How can this be done without losing focus
from the new workbook?

Thanks,
