    Transfer Data from One Workbook to Another

    Hello,

    Does anybody know how to transfer data from one workbook that's open to another in a macro form. I included two sample data workbooks I have. Sample will have the macro inside it and will already be open for the other portion of the macro that will be running. I already have code that will open up the Sample2 file. I'm trying to take specific data from Sample and paste it into a summary sheet in Sample2. In Sample i will be cycling through roughly 30 sheets to find this data but I only included one because I just need to know the basics on how to make this work and then I can figure out how to modify it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

    Hi Trevor,

    I am in the middle of something very similar to your project and facing the same issue.

    I posted yesterday and received some valuable suggestions, take a look a this thread for starters
    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ame-macro.html

    I am still implementing it but I have seen previously that the guys who responded to my post are, in australian terms "blo*dy good" so I am confident it will work

    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply. That's somewhat the same as mine. Instead of copying an entire sheet from my second file I'll actually will be pasting information from Sample 1 into Sample 2 and continue going back and fourth between the two workbooks. I have about 30 separate people that represent a sheet in sample 1 that I will need to gather information for and each person I will need to get about 10 different fields of information. Does anybody have any ideas?

    Hi Trevor,

    I do see the differences in need. As you could tell from my thread this is not my strength just yet.

    Here is a block of code that I found on a thread many months ago. The code was posted by someone who had lifted if from some one else and didn't have a clue what it was doing.

    One of the really senior forum members took the trouble to detail exactly what the code was doing (and I apologise to the author as I didn't record who made the comments)

    It is about looping through workbooks so it may be of some guidance
