In the "Orders" file, you have:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=MYNUM
Breaking this down:
"ListObjects" is a property of the "Worksheet" Object.
That means that it needs a Worksheet in order to operate.
In your case, you've specified that you want the ListObjects property of
the "Activesheet".
"Activesheet" actually a short way of saying
"the active sheet of the active workbook"
Instead, you COULD have said something like:
Workbooks("Orders.xls").Sheets(1)
which specifies the first sheet of the workbook called "Orders.xls"
or
Workbooks("Orders.xls").Sheets("Sheet1")
specifies the sheet called "Sheet1" in the workbook called "Orders.xls"
So, if you specify a sheet in ANOTHER workbook, you can use something like:
Workbooks("Orders.xls").Sheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter
_
Field:=2, Criteria1:=MYNUM
Workbooks("Stocks.xls").Sheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter
_
Field:=1, Criteria1:=MYNUM
(notice that your "ITEM" field in the "Stocks" workbook is column 1 instead of
2)
hope this helps
