Cell reference file path

[Fredek]

Hi guys,

Short question today, in cell A2 I have the file I want the VBA to open:

e.g. C:\Users\user1\Desktop\Book1.xlsx How do I go about using information in cell A2 to open the file? I know it has to be Workbooks.Open Filename... but what comes next? Workbooks.Open Filename:= Thank you! <tbody> </tbody><colgroup><col></colgroup> <tbody> </tbody><colgroup><col></colgroup>

<tbody>
</tbody><colgroup><col></colgroup>

Hi Fluff, added the variable "Set StrtSht = ActiveSheet", now I get the runtime error... Apologies Fluff, I'm a total beginner..

Sub Tmp()
    
    Dim SrcWbk As Workbook
    Dim StrtSht As Worksheet
    
    
    Set StrtSht = ActiveSheet
     Worksheets("GMCR Extract").ListObjects("GMCR_tbl").AutoFilter.ShowAllData
     
     Set SrcWbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=StrtSht.Range("U3").Value)
   
    
    With SrcWbk.Sheets("Tbl_M_GMCR_Daily_Positions")
        .Range("A1", .Range("R" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
             Workbooks("Book1.xlsm").Worksheets("GMCR Extract").Range("A2")
    End With
End Sub

Is the file you're opening an .xls file?

When I try this:

Sub Tmp()
    
    Dim SrcWbk As Workbook
    Dim StrtSht As Worksheet
    Dim DestWbk As Workbook
    
    
    Set StrtSht = ActiveSheet
     Worksheets("GMCR Extract").ListObjects("GMCR_tbl").AutoFilter.ShowAllData
     
     Set SrcWbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=StrtSht.Range("U3").Value)
   
   
    With SrcWbk.Sheets("Tbl_M_GMCR_Daily_Positions")
        .Range("A1", .Range("R" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
            DestWbk.Sheets("GMCR Extract").Range("A2")
    End With
End Sub

The destination worksheet in U17 is already open - it is the original worksheet that holds the macro. I would like the destination to be another sheet of the open workbook.

Object definer error:

Sub Tmp()
    
    Dim SrcWbk As Workbook
    Dim StrtSht As Worksheet
    Dim DestWbk As Workbook
    
    
    Set StrtSht = ActiveSheet
    Set DestWbk = ActiveWorkbook
     Worksheets("GMCR Extract").ListObjects("GMCR_tbl").AutoFilter.ShowAllData
     
     Set SrcWbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=StrtSht.Range("U3").Value)
   
   
    With SrcWbk.Sheets("Tbl_M_GMCR_Daily_Positions")
        .Range("A1", .Range("R" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
            DestWbk.Sheets("GMCR Extract").Range("A2")
    End With
End Sub

 

[Fluff]

Are the files either xlsx or xlsm files?

 

[Fredek]

The source workbook is .xls and the destination is .xlsm

 

[Fluff]

In that case you need to put a . in front of the rows.count

.Range("A1", .Range("R" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy

otherwise rows.count will return 1048576 which is beyond the range of an xls workbook

Works perfectly! Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

Glad to help & thanks for the feedback
