I use this code but it does work when the two Workbooks are opened in 1 excel file when they are opened in two different excel files it says "Run time error 9" or something like this

Sub Macro2()

Macro2 Macro

Windows("Original_SET_Data.xls").Activate

End Sub

how to change the code so i will get data from workbook1 in excelfile "A" to workbook2 in excel file "B"

Answer 1

you could use GetInfoFromClosedFile() i guess, but i never tested.

I remember using:

dim txt = "'C:\[test.xls]Page 1'!R1C1"

this should work in theory...
