Hi Everyone
Is there a way that I can utilise the "FileToOpen" as a pointer for activating a Workbook. eg. Sub ImportData() ChDrive "T:\" ChDir "T:\MyFolder" FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _ (Title:="Please choose a file to import", _ FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls (*.xls),") If FileToOpen = False Then MsgBox "No file specified.", vbExclamation, "Doh!!!" Exit Sub Else Workbooks.Open Filename:=FileToOpen End If Range("A5:AD201").Select Selection.Copy Windows(MyOtherWorkbook).Activate Sheets("MySheet").Select ActiveSheet.Paste ' This is the tricky bit, Once I have opened the "FileToOpen", and moved the focus away from it to "MyOtherWorkbook, can I then use the "FileToOpen" ' statement inside the brackets to then re-establish the focus on the Workbook that was opened originally. Windows(FileToOpen).Activate Either that, or have the file name Stamped/Inserted into the bracket. eg. If for instance, using the OpenDiagBox to get my file, I selected "Duff_Beer", is there a handy line of code that can Imprint/Insert/Stamp that between the brackets so the next instance of Windows().Activate could be populated with Windows("Duff_Beer").Activate. I only need to have this happen once, Although I will be copying data from two locations and pasting to two locations in the target Workbook, I will be copying the first range when I Open/Activate the Source, its the second instance that is of concern, reason being is that I need to copy data from a second sheet and paste to seperate locations in my target Workbook, so I would need to activate the Source twice.
