Copy and Paste ranges between files

[dude]

How do you copy cells from 1 workbook (File A) worksheet (sheet1) to another
workbook(File B) worksheet(sheet2)?

I have sucessfully written a working but not so elegant solution via
activating workbooks.

I am trying to write this without activating files in a loop as it is a less
efficient way of running things.

I am having difficulty wrapping my head around referecing ranges and
worksheets across multiple forms (with out activating).

workbooks("File A").worksheet("sheet1").range(cells(1,1), cells(1,11)).copy

vba returns so sort of application error.

Thanks in advance

Workbooks("File A.xls").worksheet("sheet1").range( _
workbooks("File A.xls").worksheet("sheet1").cells(1,1), _
workbooks("File A.xls").worksheet("sheet1").cells(1,11)).copy _
Workbooks("File B.xls").worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")


or
Dim sh as Worksheet
set sh = workbooks("File A.xls").worksheet("sheet1")
sh.Range(sh.Cells(1,1),sh.Cells(1,11)).Copy _
Workbooks("File B.xls").worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
