Hi all,

I am not quite new to VBA in a practical sense.

I have been working on this macro today but I cant seem to get it to paste for some reason, It was intended to open hyperlinked documents from a excel file, within this document is a word table, from which I run a macro to copy the desired information, but when I come to putting this information back into the Excell sheet. It does not work. If I run the macro without the paste section and manually paste it - it works. See below:

Excel Macro
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub odoc()
Dim fpath As String
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
fpath = Application.ActiveCell.Value
objWord.Documents.Open (fpath)
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Application.Run MacroName:="CopySAM"
objWord.Application.Quit
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 14).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

Word Macro
Code:
Sub CopySAM()
Dim tbl1 As Table
Set tbl1 = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
tbl1.Cell(4, 2).Range.Copy
End Sub

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Typo on this line

Hi

Thanks for the reply much appreciated, the actual syntax in VBA is without the error you mentioned and I get the below error, any ideas?

Run-time error'1004'

Paste Method of Worksheet class failed.

Try swapping the the last 3 lines like this
Code:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 14).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
objWord.Application.Quit
