I am struggling with a small pit of code. I am placing a button on a worksheet, that when used it will transfer specific data from the workbook it is in to a secondary workbook if a condition is met. I have done this before with no difficulty and I have compared my code to workbooks that work fine. The condition statement works fine, Opening the secondary workbook works fine,

But the data transfer give me Run time error '438' Object does not support this property or method. I need some fresh eyes on this. any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!! I will be adding a loop to the if statement so looks for any empty cell in L and reports the corresponding row information to the secondary form.
Code:
'Sub CopyToViewingWB()

If Sheet1.Range("L3") = "" Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:="M:\HSS Shared Services\Shared Services Team\Chuck T HSS\Recruiting\Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx" 'Location of workbooK
    Application.Visible = True 'change to hide Workbook while data transfers
  
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("A2").Value = Sheet1.Range("A3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("B2").Value = Sheet1.Range("B3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("C2").Value = Sheet1.Range("C3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("D2").Value = Sheet1.Range("D3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("E2").Value = Sheet1.Range("E3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("F2").Value = Sheet1.Range("F3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("G2").Value = Sheet1.Range("G3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("H2").Value = Sheet1.Range("H3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("I2").Value = Sheet1.Range("I3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("J2").Value = Sheet1.Range("J3").Value
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheet1.Range("K2").Value = Sheet1.Range("K3").Value
    
End If




End Sub

You cannot use sheet codenames in that manner on another workbook, you need to change it to use the sheet name, you can also do all the copying in one go
Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="M:\HSS Shared Services\Shared Services Team\Chuck T HSS\Recruiting\Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx" 'Location of workbooK
    Application.Visible = True 'change to hide Workbook while data transfers
  
    Workbooks("Req_veiwing_Form.xlsx").Sheets("sheet1").Range("A2:K2").Value = Sheet1.Range("A3:K3").Value
