Hello all,

Not to make this a real long post, I have out several worksheets in my company. When I need to make a change on one of them it becomes a hassle to send the new workbook out and the users then have to re-enter all the data into the new one.

My thoughts are, is there a way that I can create a patch workbook? Something I could send to them, they click a button and the patch workbook makes the changes I need to the specified workbook.

Has anyone done this before and if so have some stating code?
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
What sort of changes are you making?

Is it changes to code?

I do it all the time with Monthly program updates.

Using a Worksheet_Open event, do your thing, then close the workbook.

I'd be happy to send you the one I use the most if you want a visual, just PM me your e-mail address.
