Hello,

I want to use code to programatically copy cells "A3"
and "D7" from WorksheetA to cells "B12" and "D4"
respectively in WorksheetB.

The catch is that WorksheetA will be reproduced regularly,
while "B12" and "D4" on WorksheetB will be dependent onthe
selected, reproduced WorksheetA.

My biggest difficulty (I think) is to refer back from
WorksheetB to the previous sheet from which the 2nd 'copy'
operation took place.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Denis

Thank you Frank, although the worksheets, from where the
code will originate from, may not necessarily be adjacent
to the WorksheetB, you have given me something to start
with.
Thanks again

Copy/paste this User Defined Function to a general module in your workbook.

Function PrevSheet(rg As Range)
N = Application.Caller.Parent.Index
If N = 1 Then
PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrRef)
ElseIf TypeName(Sheets(N - 1)) = "Chart" Then
PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrNA)
Else
PrevSheet = Sheets(N - 1).Range(rg.Address).Value
End If
End Function

'Enter =PrevSheet(B2) on sheet2 and you'll get B2 from sheet1.

OR call the Function in your code.

Thank you Gord, unfortunately I tried to figure it out
and modify it somewhat, but admittedly, it was a little
above my head.

I have managed to come up with the following code. Not
very pretty nor sleek, but it's doing what I was looking
for.

Cheers!

Your code can be cleaned up somewhat.......very rarely do you need to "select"
objects such as ranges and sheets.

Sub CopyToSecond()

If ActiveSheet.Name = "Second" Then
Exit Sub
Else
Range("C19").Value = Range("A3").Value
Range("D19").Value = Range("C3").Value
With Range("C19:D19")
.ClearFormats
.Font.ColorIndex = 2 'White
.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Second").Range("C19")
End With
Range("A1").Select 'set the focus to cell A1

End If

End Sub

Your comments on "cell to be determined" lead me to believe that you would be
having some sort of user input.

Check out the use of InputBox and Application.InputBox for choosing cells.

Gord,
Yes indeed, there was much potential for cleaner code
(quite new at this) and I appreciate your help in this
matter. I learned something new today - life is good!

Oh, the user input thing.... should have been removed from
my code for the posting... it was simply a reminder for
me - the cells will be different.

Cheers!
Denis

Thanks for the feedback Denis.
