Good morning,

I have this code below and I'm trying to tweak it to work for my situation. I'm trying to copy a sheet from a closed workbook into my current active workbook that's open. The location of the sheet/workbook I need to copy from always remains the same and the workbook I'm copying it into is always the active workbook but the name of the workbook is different. Any help is appreciated.

VBA Code:
Sub CopySheet()

Workbooks.Open Filename:="*Enter File Location Here*"
Workbooks("Revised").Sheets("Copy").Copy Before:=ACTIVE WORKBOOK.Sheets("Glossary")
Workbooks("Revised.xls").Close savechanges:=False

End Sub

Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Identify the active workbook before opening the the other workbook.
Here is a sample, you may have to edit it

VBA Code:
dim wb as workbook,bk as workbook
set wb=activeworkbook

set bk=Workbooks.Open(Filename:="filename")
with bk
.Sheets("Copy").Copy Before:=wb.Sheets("Glossary")
bk.close false
end with

Hey dave,

This was working great for me last week and now when I try to run it I get a "Run-time error '1004': Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook."

Do you know what I did to make the run time error come up?

Hey Dave! Thanks for getting back to me. I figured it out. When I tried running it yesterday it was on a spreadsheet saved as .xls and I was using a newer extension like .xlsm.

It worked after I saved a new copy of the file. Thank you for all your help!
