All,
I developed a process for a small data set and it now needs to scale to cover large data grabs from outside of the workbook (in closed workbooks on a drive) then have the macro deposit the output into new workbooks in a different file folder (currently my code drops the new workbooks into the same folder) . I originally copied the forms into the workbook when I had to do 3 at a time but now it will be used to generate hundreds at a time.

The example code below is from the workbook that had all data in sheets inside the workbook but will now need to grab the sheets to be used from other closed workbooks:

i don't know how to adjust these parameters to meet my needs I think its just a range issue potentially. The new file I need to use has the following name and drive directory:

New file to populate with info from the workbook with the macro in it. C:\Users\thocoult\Desktop\Newst macro\Source docs structure\Mechanical\Master

Once populated need to be saved in the following location as a newly named file: C:\Users\thocoult\Desktop\Newst macro\Source docs structure\Mechanical\RIF

Code:
Public Sub GenerateRIF()
Dim i As Integer
Dim x As Integer
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FullFileName As String
Dim wbkCurrent As Workbook
Dim RIFManufacturer As String
Dim RIFType As String
Dim RIFCapacity As String
Dim RIFVoltage As String
Dim RIFEquipmentTag As String






Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual


i = 1
x = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B:B"))


'Update to your file path"
FilePath = "C:\Users\thocoult\Desktop\Newst macro\"


Set wbkCurrent = ActiveWorkbook


Application.Goto Reference:="AHUData"
Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 2).Select


For i = 1 To x
    
    Application.Goto Reference:="AHUData"
    
    RIFManufacturer = Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 4).Value
    RIFType = Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 7).Value
    RIFCapacity = Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 7).Value
    RIFVoltage = Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 29).Value
    RIFEquipmentTag = Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 2).Value
    
    If Left(Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 2).Value, 3) = "AHU" Then
    
    'Manufacturer
    Application.Goto Reference:="RIFManufacturer"
    Range("RIFManufacturer").Value = RIFManufacturer
    
    'Type
    Application.Goto Reference:="RIFType"
    Range("RIFType").Value = RIFType
    
    'Capacity
    Application.Goto Reference:="RIFCapacity"
    Range("RIFCapacity").Value = RIFCapacity
    
    'Volts/Phase/Hertz
    Application.Goto Reference:="RIFVoltage"
    Range("RIFVoltage").Value = RIFVoltage
    
    'EquipmentTag
    Application.Goto Reference:="RIFEquipmentTag"
    Range("RIFEquipmentTag").Value = RIFEquipmentTag
    
    'Hard code building id in all of the forms
    Range("buildingFINID") = "IAD65"


    FullFileName = FilePath & "RIF_" & Range("AHUData").Cells(i, 2).Value & ".xlsx"
    
'        If i = 1 Then
    Worksheets("RIF").Copy
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FullFileName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    ActiveWorkbook.Close


    wbkCurrent.Activate
    
    End If
Next i


'turning back on auto calculations
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub
[code]
