Hi ! I have two Workbooks
1. Main (where I have a button and I intent to write code and paste the data) 2. Data (where I have data to be copied) My code so far Sub copy() Dim wbData As Workbook Dim wbMain As Workbook Set wbData = Workbooks.Open("path") Set wbMain = Workbooks.Open("path") wbData.Sheets(1).Range("A1:A5").copy wbMain.Sheets(1).Range("A1:A5").PasteSpecial wbData.Close End Sub In the above code the problem is that the file wbMain is already open and when I try to re-open it gives an error says "trying to open already file and you may loose the data" when I press yes the program crashes and if I do not open the file then it gives me the error or sub or function not defined as wbMain variable is not set. Second problem When an error is thrown or I close my files, I lose all the VBA code and module? strange ! any idea how to save modules permanently?
