(already open) in a specific cellIf you truly are deactivating a worksheet (i.e by moving to another
sheet) then right click the tab of that sheet, choose view code and
paste this in, don't forget to change the name of the destination
workbook and destination sheet and range:


Code:
--------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Me.Range("A1").Copy Destination:=Workbooks("Book2").Sheets("Sheet1").R ange("A1")
End Sub

copy value from active sheet to another workbook
 

Install the following event macro in the code area of the source sheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Range("A1").Copy Workbooks("beta.xls").Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B9")
End Sub

Once you de-activate the source sheet the value will be copied as indicated.
To de-activate, just click on some other tab in the source workbook.


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
