You can use either a Workbook name or Workbook number. When we specify the workbook number if it the order of the workbooks which you are opening. Please see the below VBA codes to activate a Workbook. Please see the below VBA codes to activate a Workbook using workbook number. In this example we are activating a workbook 2 in the currently opened workbooks collection. Please see the below VBA codes to activate a currently running macro workbook.
This will be very useful while dealing with the multiple workbooks. ActiveWorkbook VBA object is very usefull while automating tasks and working on currently active Excel WorkBook in the active workbook window. If you ignore the ActiveWorkbook object while refering any other object like sheet, range or chart, VBA will treat the ActiveWorkbook as the current Workbook by default.
For example: Following are the two macro statements both will refer the active ActiveWorkbook. We can assign and set ActiveWorkbook to an object and refer at any place of the procedure. We activate different workbooks to access the file objects and do some activity. For example, we activate Book While accessing the different objects in different workbooks, we generally activate the Workbook and do perform some operation with Excel VBA Macros.

Sheets "Sheet1". Cells 1, 1. Cells 2, 1. If I use the first example, it activates the single, specified Word document as expected and I can perform the desired formatting. If I use the second example with multiple document names specified in an array, neither open document file activates. I just am not sure why that is.
OK, so then my post applies in total. It doesn't matter if you specify "filename2. Try it all 3 ways you'll get the same error. You shouldn't be able to do the same thing specifying different WorkBooks either, for the same reason.
Ah, I think there was a misunderstanding. I'm not trying to run the code from either of the open Word document windows. I have a separate Word document "tool" that has the VBA code to format the other files. The content you requested has been removed. GetOpenFilenam command already with a reference from to the file from the cell.
I open the text file in a spreadsheet and run some sort functions on the data before importing it into my final spreadsheet. I have some steps where I'm cutting backwards and forwards between sheets.
I guess if its not possible to use a continuing variable file name then I could do the sort in my final workbook which is a constant.
If you have done that then you don't need the filename and you can easily refer to the workbook to do whatever you need to do before the final import. Hi Norie - could you please give me an example of how to do this? I am not familiar with this code? You must log in or register to reply here.
