Hi all

I have this piece of code to copy a sheet into a new book

Code:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("TM").Copy Before:=NewBook.Sheets(1)
how can I then activate this new book to edit some of the data there as the above code goes back to the active sheet

thanks

Hi RedSpanna,

Will this help in what you are trying to do:


Code:
Sub test()

Dim MainWorkbook As String
Dim NewWorkbook As String

' ASSIGN A NAME TO YOUR CURRENT WORKBOOK

    MainWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    
    Sheets("TM").Copy

' ASSIGN A NAME TO YOUR NEW WORKBOOK WHICH YOU CAN REFERENCE LATER WHEN YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO IT
    
    NewWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    
' ACTIVATE ORIGINAL WORKBOOK

    Windows("" & MainWorkbook).Activate
    
' PUT CODE HERE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH MAIN WORKBOOK
    
' ACTIVATE NEW WORKBOOK

    Windows("" & NewWorkbook).Activate

' PUT CODE HERE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH NEW WORKBOOK

End Sub
