Hi all,

been scratching my head and searching google for 2 hours now, hope you can help...

I'm writing a program to open certin files, go to a tab, and link to cells in another tab. Since this will happen for multiple rows, i though i'd just paste link. However, i can't get it to work without selecing the cell.

As you all know, selecting slows things down and open the code to break if someone inadvertantly clicks somewhere.

How can i link to another cell without selecting a cell/range?

currently i'm using something like this:

workbooks("1.xls").worksheets("a").range("a1:a100").copy
workbooks("1.xls").worksheets("b").range("a1:a100").paste link:=true

but i get "error 438... object doesn't support this function or method".

Thank you VERY much!

Cheers
