HI All,

I am new to VBA. I have 2 workbooks named a.xls and b.xls. I am trying to activate a cell in the workbook b.xls by writing code in a.xls.

I used the below code in workbook a.xls and got error msg as "Activate method of range class failed".

code:

Workbooks("b.xls").Sheets("Data").Range("a10").Activate

Kindly guide me.
