Hi Guys,

I am trying to copy values from a closed workbook to active workbook. I have following code, but this one is not working. Any help in making it work will appreciated.
Code:
Sub CopyValues()Dim swb As Workbook, dwb As Workbook
Set dwb = ActiveWorkbook
Set swb = Workbooks.Open("S:\Leave Allocations\Leave Register.xlsm")
swb.Sheets("Emp").Range("A1:C1000").Select
Selection.Copy
dwb.Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Emp").Range("A1:C1000").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
swb.Close




End Sub


Thanks
Asad

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Just to clarify, I intend to use this code in multiple files. So the "dwb" workbook needs to refer to the workbook I am running the code from.

Got it right now :)
Code:
Sub CopyValues()Dim swb As Workbook, dwb As Workbook
Set dwb = ActiveWorkbook
Set swb = Workbooks.Open("S:\Leave Allocations\Leave Register.xlsm")
swb.Sheets("Emp").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Range("A1:C1000").Select
Selection.Copy
dwb.Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Emp").Range("A1:C1000").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
swb.Close




End Sub
