Hello,
I am trying to copy a workbook without opening it and save it to a different location/file name (2nd workbook) from a third workbook.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
leeloo

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Sort by date Sort by votes
<font face=Courier New><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> CopyFile()

FileCopy Source:="C:\Book3.xls", Destination:="C:\VBA Code\Book5.xls"

<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN>
</FONT>

Try like this

Code: 
Sub CopyFile()
On Error Resume Next
Kill "C:\VBA Code\Book5.xls"
On Error GoTo 0
FileCopy Source:="C:\Book3.xls", Destination:="C:\VBA Code\Book5.xls"
End Sub

Peter if another user has open book5 when the code is executed will it still replace it even though its open.

I think that you would need

Code: 
On Error Resume Next
Kill "H:\All\Material Prep Archive\(Public)Archive .xls"
On Error GoTo 0
FileCopy Source:=ActiveWorkbook.FullName, Destination:="H:\All\Material Prep Archive\(Public)Archive .xls"

If i add the On Error Resume Next above the file copy will it skip the FileCopy if the destination (PublicArchive.xls) is open?
Like Below

On Error Resume Next
Kill "H:\All\Material Prep Archive\(Public)Archive .xls"
On Error GoTo 0
On Error Resume Next
FileCopy Source:=ActiveWorkbook.FullName, Destination:="H:\All\Material Prep Archive\(Public)Archive .xls"
