Is it possible to have the VBA code go into multiple excel workbooks that are not necessarily open and pull out values / data?

Hi Matthew

If you want to open a closed workbook from another workbook to then copy values from it you write the following code:

Application.Workbooks.Open "C:\My Documents\Accounts\2008 Accounts.xls"

The full path of the Workbook's address can be found using Windows Explorer and copied in. The path is a string.

The Workbooks.Open method also allows you to set other Worksheet values like passwords

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Move data worksheet to worksheet

To move data from one worksheet to another, highlight the data.

Select and hold down the ALT key and position the mouse on the border of the selection until the mouse pointer displays four-headed arrows.

Drag the selection down to the destination worksheet tab.

When the arrow touches the tab, Excel switches to the desired worksheet. Now drag the selection to the correct position. Let go of the mouse and then the ALT key.

To copy data from one worksheet to another, select and hold down the CTRL+ALT keystroke combination and perform the steps above.
