OK so here's what i would like to do, and google just hurts my brain so I am going here for the experts, I need to press a button, have excel go into another workbook, which I will update each day with new entries, and pull out the data from that work book and paste it into my current workbook under the data that is currently there, I know I can just copy and paste it myself, but over the long hall this should significantly speed up the process.
also could we make the macro only pull the order's with todays date?

Little more back story in case needed: So I manage the shipments log for our company, and every day we get new sales orders that then go to Document 1, I take those orders from Document 1, move them to Document 2, where we will begin building the order. Once the order is built I move it to sheet 2 inside document 2. I already have a macro to move the data from sheet one to sheet two, and I have tried reading online on how to pull the data, but it seems to all be on keeping the data the same across the two sheets, which frankly neither should match any entries until the import has happened.

Thanks for any help/nudging in the right direction!

Edit: I have excel 2010 and windows 7 incase thats needed! :-)

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Ok, here's what I have so far,
Code:
Sub adsf()
Dim sFileName As String
    Dim wbTemp As Workbook
    Dim sMacroName As String
    
    sFileName = "Copy of Data input Sample.xlsm"
    sMacroName = "CopyData"
    
    'Set variable, open workbook
    Set wbTemp = Workbooks.Open(sFileName)
    
    'Run macro from other workbook
    Application.Run wbTemp & "!" & sMacroName
    
    'Close workbook, save changes
    wbTemp.Close True

End Sub

then the other code I have set up is:
Code:
Sub CopyData(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False_
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Value = "Jul" Then
Rows(Target.Row).Copy _
Destination:=Workbook("Test").Worksheets("Shipped").Rows(Worksheets("Shipped") _
.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1)
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

it tells me it can not locate file "Copy of input data sample.xlsm" when I try to run it, I have both files saved to the following path: C:\Users\nklaassen\Desktop\New folder

Any help debugging? or fixing something I haven't seen yet?
