Excel opening separate files in new instance causing problems

Hi all,

I have a macro that when it runs opens another workbook and triggers a macro in it to copy some sheets over from the original workbook.

The trouble is that sometimes excel runs as a separate instance and it is causing me lots of problems as it doesn't handle clipboard/copying items in the same way and the two can't speak to each other.

Is there a way to force excel through VBA to open the second workbook within the original instance of excel, so the two can copy properly and work between each other?


Codes are:

Starting code from instance 1 in first workbook:


VBA Code: 
Sub UpdateReadiness()

Dim W3 As Boolean
Dim OutputFile As Workbook
Dim caworkbook As String
Dim security As MsoAutomationSecurity

If ThisWorkbook.ReadOnly = True Then
MsgBox "You do not have permission to update readiness", vbOKOnly, "ACCESS DENIED"
Exit Sub
End If


ans = MsgBox("Update data from Book1 and Book2" & vbNewLine & "trackers into readiness tracker?", vbOKCancel, "DATA UPDATE")
If ans = vbCancel Then Exit Sub


Sheets("SETTINGS").Range("BL1") = 1
Call Graphcalc

With UserForm12
  .StartUpPosition = 0
  .Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * .Width)
  .Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * .Height)
  .Show (False)
End With



UserForm12.Show (False)
UserForm12.Repaint


Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

security = Application.AutomationSecurity
Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityLow

caworkbook = ActiveWorkbook.Path + "/Readiness Tracker.xlsm"


On Error Resume Next
If BookOpen("Readiness Tracker.xlsm") = False Then
Workbooks.Open (caworkbook), UpdateLinks:=0, IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended:=True, Notify:=False, CorruptLoad:=xlNormalLoad
Application.AutomationSecurity = security
W3 = True
End If

Call Workbooks("Readiness Tracker.xlsm").Sheets("WELCOME").Updater


If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox "Error - Readiness tracker not updated", , "UPDATE ERROR"

Unload UserForm12


End Sub




And in the second workbook the Updater macro should be triggered:


Code: 
Sub Updater()



Dim W1 As Boolean
Dim W2 As Boolean
Dim W1E As Boolean
Dim W2E As Boolean
Dim rng As Range
Dim TwoWH As Boolean
Dim SixWH As Boolean
Dim TweWH As Boolean
Dim OutputFile As Workbook
Dim WorkscopeWHR As Range
Dim caworkbook As String
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim security As MsoAutomationSecurity

  .StartUpPosition = 0
  .Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * .Width)
  .Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * .Height)
  .Show (False)
End With



UserForm12.Show (False)
UserForm12.Repaint


Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))

Application.ScreenUpdating = False



Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I know the code is probably very scrappy!, but it was all working fine until I put a bunch more data into the first book and I think that because it uses so much it is now making it open up a new instance and the macros are failing and it is corrupting the second file too.


Also I need to keep them as separate workbooks, I can't combine them into one.


Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Tom
