Created a macro to define a variable for the current activated workbook. Then I open another file. And then I want to activate the first workbook. The code defaults when cworkbook is asked to be activated in the end of the code:


Sub This_Workbook()
'Reference to active work book


Dim cWorkbook As Workbook


Set cWorkbook = activeworkbook


Debug.Print cWorkbook.Name


Workbooks.Open ("S:\TB\UK TB_MTD_0918-en-us.xlsx")


Workbooks(cWorkbook).Activate




End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I swap between the existing workbook and a new workbook using this code:
Code:
CurrentWorkbookName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Workbooks.Add
NewWorkbookName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
' do something in the the new workbok


Workbooks(CurrentWorkbookName).Activate
' swap back to the orginal workbook
