I seem to remember from my course something about Macros being allowed to work across different workbooks? Is there a way of enabling this?

Hi Alex

I believe the peice of VBA code that you are looking for, to include in your macro is:

Workbooks("YourWorkbook").activate

where you place the name of your workbook in the above statement where is says yourworkbook.

If this does not solve your problem get back to me

Hope this helps

Vba tip:

Use GoTo to Select A Cell With VBA

To select a certain cell on a Worksheet you can use:

Application.Goto Reference:=Range("V300")

or more simply

Range("V300").Select

If, on the other hand, you want the selected cell to be the top/left cell on the screen you use:

Application.Goto Reference:=Range("V300"), Scroll=True
