Hi,

I need a little bit of help for the following problem in VBA. If anyone could help me, that would be great -

I have an excel sheet which is being dynamically updated every few seconds (lets call is "live.xls"). I want to store the dynamically updated data from one of the worksheets of "live.xls" into another excel sheet (called "backup.xls") everytime "live.xls" is updated. So in a sense, "backup.xls" will also become a dynamically updated sheet.

More specifically, I want to copy cells "A5" to "DQ5" from a worksheet "live_worksheet" of "live.xls" to the backup workbook "backup.xls" in a sheet titled "live_backup_worksheet". How do I code this in VBA? Also, is it possible to do this copying work from an Excel window different from the one in which "live.xls" is working?

Also is there a way by which I can stop the live updating process? Suppose I feel like stopping the update ath this moment, I would like to just run a VBA macro and stop it.

Thanks for the help

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
