I am trying to copy a worksheet to a new workbook and change the formatting. But the macro only changes the formatting on the original workbook. How do I gain focus on the new workbook?



Sub Copy_WorkSheet()

'open and copy sheet to new wb
Sheets("Sheet 1").Select
ActiveSheet.UnProTect
Sheets("Sheet 1").Copy

'change table style
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("VendComplete").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium4"

'remove hidden hyperlink
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 1")).Select
Selection.Cut

'close original wb
Windows("Supplier List_working.xlsm").Activate
Application.ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Nowhere in your code do you paste. Once you've pasted you can then re-format

This part "Sheets("Sheet 1").Copy" opens new workbook and pastes copied WS.

As for loosing focus...
I cannot reproduce the problem. Anyway you could try to modify this part:
"'change table style
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("VendComplete").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium4""

To this:

Code:
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]'change table style
[/COLOR]Activeworkbook.[COLOR=#333333]Sheets("Sheet 1").[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]ListObjects("VendComplete").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium4"

[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]'remove hidden hyperlink[/COLOR]
Activeworkbook.[COLOR=#333333]Sheets("Sheet 1")[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 1")).Select[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Selection.Cut
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]

As new workbook should be main object after copy activeworkbook should do the trick.

Thanks for the feedback.

The hyperlink removal works - thanks but this line stilltrows an erro:


'change table style
Activeworkbook.
Sheets("Sheet 1").
ListObjects("VendComplete").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium4"

Found a work around.

'remove hidden hyperlink

Activeworkbook.
Sheets("Sheet 1")
.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 1")).Select

Selection.Cut

'change table style
Range("a1").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).Unlist
Cells.Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlNone
End With
With Selection.Font
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
' New table Style
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$A$1:$AY$617"), , xlYes).Name = "Table2"
Range("Table2[#All]").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table2").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium11"
