How do I "move" a macro from one worksheet to another?

CRF · Mar 28th, 2002, 08:10 AM

We are jointly working on a template workbook. I have created a macro & worksheet that need to be pasted into another workbook. When I try to insert/module and paste macro into another workbook - it still launches my original workbook and runs the macros from there. Help!

Is your macro in a module or on the workbook object? I'm guessing it's in a module since your calling it a macro.

My advice is to go to the macro, select all and then copy. Go to the sheet that you're exporting, right click on the Name TAB, choose "View Code" and then paste your macro code into the VBE window that comes up.

Actually, do you want to post the code that you use to call your macro. That might be helpful.

Thanks - I pasted into Viewcode and moved sheet to new workbook. Got error message. Pasted to VB windows as Thisbook. Then edited each button and reassigned macro. Then it worked without calling my other workbook. Muchos Gracias!

Actually you can export it.

At the top left pane of the Visual Basic Editor (ALT + F11), highlight the module, and right click and select EXPORT.

Open the destination workbook and from FILE select IMPORT. Save the time in copy and pasting.
