Automatic Paste to different workbooks

[Mannie G]

I have a Macro for extracting price options from a large pricelist with
several sheets. The Macro always copies to a workbook "MachineQuote1". How
can I make the macro copy to any selected workbook? I am a novice at working
with VB and Macros. The code is currently:-

Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Y"
Range("A1:O22").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("MachineQuote1").Activate
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Select
Windows("RembrandtPriceList2006+AMJMPrices-17May06.xls").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveCell.Select
Windows("MachineQuote1").Activate
End Sub

What you've got so far looks to me like a recorded macro - if next time
you run it the filtered area is A1:O25 your macro is unfortunately only
going to copy area A1:O22!
Have a go with this:

If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = True Then
Range("A1").AutoFilter
End If
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Y"

Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range
rng.copy

ChDrive "P"
ChDir "P:\Daily &Reports\"

Dim MyXlPathway As String
MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls),
*.xls", 1, "Select the Excel file you wish to copy data into........")
Workbooks.Open MyXlPathway, , True
range("A1").paste


you might need to change a few little details (e.g drive and directory)
to suit your needs

sub copytowk
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Y"
Range("A1:O22").Copy
workbooks("MachineQuote1.xls").sheets("yoursheet").range("a1")
End Sub

Or you can make a list of workbook names>right click sheet tab>view
code>insert this>double click on the cell with the name of the workbook.
Modify to suit

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
workbookname = ActiveCell.Value
On Error GoTo OpenWorkbook
Windows(workbookname & ".xls").Activate
Exit Sub
OpenWorkbook:
Workbooks.Open(workbookname & ".xls").RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen

With Workbooks("sourceworkbookname.xls").Sheets("sourcesheet")
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=1
Range("A1:O22").Copy Workbooks(workbookname &
".xls").Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1")
..Range("a1").AutoFilter
End With

End Sub


sub copytowk
'mywb=target
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Y"
Range("A1:O22").Copy
workbooks("MachineQuote1.xls").sheets("yoursheet").range("a1")
End Sub

Hi J

Have looked at your post and tried to use the code. However the macro stops
when I get to: -

MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls),
*.xls", 1, "Select the Excel file you wish to copy data into........")
Workbooks.Open MyXlPathway, , True
Range("A1").Paste

My original macro works well, the only thing I want to change is where to
paste the information. I preferably need it to go to any machine quoute I
have open and to the cell I select. Does this make any difference to your
suggestion?

Thanks for help so far

Hello Don,

Have tried to understand your code information, not sure how to make this
work and where / how I should use it. The main thing I need to do differently
is to be able to select any quote workbook open it and paste into any cell
selected in column A

Thanks for information so far
