Hi Everyone,

I am a real beginner when it comes to VBA so I need your help! I am reading Mr Excel's book on VBA and Macros but I cannot find a solution to the problem below.


Any suggestions on how to do the following?
  1. The macro will be applied to an open workbook, lets call that WORKBOOK(*), as the name applies the workbook name will change between uses.
  2. One of the first steps is to open a workbook off the network that contains a reference sheet, WORKBOOK2, this I can do
  3. In WORKBOOK2 is the worksheet called REFSHEET
  4. I need to copy REFSHEET into WORKBOOK(*)
I know how to write the VBA that could copy REFSHEET from WORKBOOK2 to lets say WORKBOOK1, but then if I want to run the same code on WORKBOOK55, the code wouldn't work.

Is there a way to identify the workbook in which you start the macro as a variable, and then reference that variable in the copy worksheet code? That way the code should work no matter what WORKBOOK(*) is named.

Thanks for your help with this!!!!

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Maybe

Code:
Sheets("REFSHEET").copy after:=thisworkbook.sheets(sheets.count)

Hey VoG,

You got me on the right track. This is what ended up working.

Sheets("Ref Sheet").Copy After:=Workbooks(ThisWorkbook).Sheets(1)

Thanks!
