As the title of this post suggests, I'm trying to use VBA to write some data into another workbook. I did some looking on the internet and this is what I've found. This code doesn't crash, but it sure as heck isn't writing the data to anyplace where I'm expecting it!

Not sure what bearing this has on the case, but the 2 workbooks in question are in different folders. Also, the folders they are in are not just on my harddrive, but are uploaded to the cloud onto my OneDrive. Does this have a bearing on naming the file path? Thanks in advance!

Code:
Sub MYTest()

Dim mastWorkBook As Workbook

Set mastWorkBook = Workbooks.Open("1 New Master Amazon Report.xlsm")

mastWorkBook.Sheets(24).Cells(2, 4) = "test string"

End Sub

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
If you aren't getting an error, then the value is being written to D2 on the 24th sheet from the left in the workbook you opened.
