Copy over color pallete from one work book to another

[timspin]

Hi

I have a workbook that uses a color pallett that I have defined. Im sucking out work sheets via a macro from another workbook to another. Trouble is the worksheet I suck out is a different color (based on the original color profile)

Any ideas??

Cheers
Tim

Try

    ActiveWorkbook.Colors = Workbooks("originalbook.xls").Colors

FromBook = Dir("*.xls")
While FromBook <> ""
If FromBook <> ToBook Then

Transfer_data2 (WEEKNO) ' subroutine below
End If
FromBook = Dir

Private Sub Transfer_data2(WEEKNO2)

Workbooks.Open Filename:=FromBook
Sheets(WEEKNO2).Select

You are "sucking" sheets from many books ... which one is the palette supposed to come from?

Hi Glen

So I have say 10 workbooks in a folder. Each of these workbooks are the same (each has the same color pallete - and its this color pallete that I want in my Big Bumper work book that sucks out all the worksheets from my ten in the folder)

Cheers
Tim

try putting:

    Workbooks("Summary bezel.xls").Colors = Workbooks(FromBook).Colors

before Workbooks(FromBook).Close savechanges:=False
in the Transfer_data2 routine. It'll copy the palette 10 times, but that doesn't matter ( as long as it doesn't slow your process down too much).
