Default Select sheets using a variable
I am working with many workbooks trying to merge certian data from each into a master book. The tabs and such are named the same ex. book 701 has sheet 701 and will copy data to masterbook on sheet 701. Therefore I was trying to use a varaiable to do all this. But it is not working, it will not go from sheet to sheet in my masterbook, but paste all on same tab. Below is a bit of the code I am using.

For ProgramLoop = 702 To 703

mySiteNumb = ProgramLoop
mySitedoc = ProgramLoop & ".doc"
myFilename = "c:\capfiles\" & ProgramLoop & ".doc"


Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=myFilename, startrow:=4 ', DataType:=xlDelimited, Space:=True

Windows(mySitedoc).Activate
Sheets(mySiteNumb).Select
Columns("A:D").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("South_new_template.xls").Activate <---- master workbook
Sheets(mySiteNumb).Select
Columns("I:I").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
.... More code to filter sort and delete etc.....

Are you referencing a word document? What's up with the .doc? Or rather... What's up Doc

mySiteNumb is an integer so when you try to access your sheet with sheets(mySiteNumb) it is treating it as an index value. Try sheets(ltrim(str(mySiteNumb))).select
