Copying cells from one workbook to another

[tiredofit]

I have two workbooks within the same instance of Excel, wb1 and wb2.

wb1 has this code in ThisWorkbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()

    Application.IgnoreRemoteRequests = True

End Sub

If I go to wb2 and copy the contents of a cell and try to paste it into wb1, nothing gets pasted.

I suspect it has to do with the event above, (which is there so that other Excel files opened via Windows Explorer open in a separate session of Excel).

So is it possible to retain the event AND enable copying from wb2 to wb1?

Thanks
