Hi,
This is what i am trying to do.

On a worksheet "A" i run a command button code to open another workbook / worksheet "B" & then insert a new row at row 3
I see the workbook / worksheet open BUT the row isnt inserted on the correct sheet "B", it opens on the sheet i am running the code from "A"

Please advise

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\EXCEL WORKSHEETS\MOTORCYCLES.xlsm")
Worksheets("INVOICES").Activate
Rows("3:3").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

End Sub

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Does this work?

VBA Code:

    Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\EXCEL WORKSHEETS\MOTORCYCLES.xlsm")
    
    Worksheets("INVOICES").Activate
    
    Worksheets("INVOICES").Rows("3:3").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

End Sub
