Trying to get this reference to work to a closed workbook on another drive. I just want to copy data plus cell formatformatting:

Sub CopyWithFormatting()
Workbooks("\\harddrive\driveletter\folder\[XLworkbook.xlsm]").Worksheets("sheetname").Range("c6:ak27").Copy
With ActiveSheet.Range("c6")
.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With
End Sub

Can you please help with the syntax of the reference.

Thanks,


Andy

 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Re: VBA Syntax help please

You can't copy from a closed workbook - you have to open it. (you can extract values from a closed workbook but that is all)

Re: VBA Syntax help please

OK, understood.

I think I'm gonna have to find another way around this, then.

Thanks for your response.
