I realize that I also need to be able to refer in relative terms to the
workbook next to the current workbook.. So what I need to is to cut and
paste the value of a cell from a workbook to the left of the current one
into the current cell. i.e. cut and paste from workbook B into workbook A
using relativity so to speak. I want to use the macro for a number of
paired work books in the spread sheet. Work book B is always to the left
of Work book A.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Tom for you suggestion, but I am having trouble getting what I want
to work. The following works fine when I use absolute references to the
work sheet names.

Sub Uhrs()
'
' Updated hrs Macro
' Macro recorded 7/3/05 by Abay
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+h
'
Sheets("MSH").Select
Range("B29").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("M. Stevanak").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=
_
False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

I get the values from B29 in MSH work sheet into the current cell in work
sheet "M. Stevanak". When I tried to add in your code (I am at the state of
always recording macros, not proficient in VB code as you may have guessed)
I keep getting errors .. obviously I am doing it wrong:(

Some more help would really be appreciated.

Hi Abay,

As far as I understand, it seems that you are :
* selecting data in a specific cell from a specific sheet;
* then trying to copy it in another sheet in a specific cell.

I'll try to help but I don't understand what you would like to
do afterwards with the copied data.
