VBA Copy Worksheet to a Different Open Workbook

Question

I keep getting an Out of Range error when trying to copy a sheet from on workbook to another. The original spreadsheet (Master_Data.xlsm) is what is running the vba script. The scripts opens another spreadsheet, manipulates it, then copies the final sheet to be pasted in the Master_Data.xlsm Workbook.

Sub Result_Scrapper()

Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, wbFile As Object
Dim masterBook As Workbook
Dim wsa As Worksheet
Dim year As Integer


Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fldr = fso.GetFolder("C:\Users\Output_Spreadsheets\")
Set masterBook = Excel.Workbooks("Master_Data.xlsm")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each wbFile In fldr.Files
If fso.GetExtensionName(wbFile.Name) = "xlsm" Then
    Set wb = Workbooks.Open(wbFile.Path)
    'Copy sheet of interest
    ActiveSheet.Copy 'Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(“A”) 'tried doing it using before statement but it also caused errors
    'paste sheet into masterBook spread--this is where the error comes
    masterBook.Sheets(Sheets.Count).Paste

    End If
masterBook.Sheets("master").Name = Right([A2], 30)
Next wbFile

Answer 1

There are two issues. First, as someone else commented, you need to fully qualify the count. Second, you'll want to do it on one line; and you could do before, but then you're just pushing out whatever that last sheet is, if you add it after, then the sheets stay in order.

Try:

ActiveSheet.Copy After:=masterBook.Sheets(masterBook.Sheets.Count)
