Copy Code From a one excel to other through Macro

[Pavan Kishore K. S.]

Hi,

I have excel1.xls and excel2.xls. In excel1.xls i have a certain bit of code
that i need to copy into excel2.xls. The code is for the command button i
have in excel2.xls. This code runs when i click the command button.

the code i am using to copy is:
Sub CopyModule(SourceWB As Workbook, strModuleName As String, TargetWB As
Workbook)

' copies a module from one workbook to another
' example:
' CopyModule Workbooks("Book1.xls"), "Module1", Workbooks ("Book2.xls")
Dim strFolder As String, strTempFile As String
strFolder = SourceWB.Path
If Len(strFolder) = 0 Then strFolder = CurDir
strFolder = strFolder & ""
strTempFile = strFolder & "~tmpexport.bas"
On Error Resume Next
SourceWB.VBProject.VBComponents(strModuleName).Export strTempFile
TargetWB.VBProject.VBComponents(5).Import strTempFile

Kill strTempFile
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

The code that needs to be copied is something like this..
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox "hi"
End Sub

This code needs to be copied into the "Sheet1". But when i copy the code it
goes into a new module of the excel2.xls instead of Sheet1.

What is the code i should follow inorder to copy the code into the sheet1
instead of a module?

in your VBA editor, go to the main menu.
View-->Project Explorer.

Once you have your code copied, use the PE to navigate to the prope
module and double-click it to open the code window. Paste your cod
there. - piku

Hi Pikus,

Thanks for the answer, The situation is as follows:
1) The excel sheet is being used by about 100 associates of my organization
and i cant ask them to copy and paste it manually.
2) Hence, i need to get it done automatically on the click of a button.
Hence i require to do it through a macro.

Any ideas about the same.

Thanks

Pavan

Ok.. i managed to solve this.. here is the code for others to use

rivate Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Define an excel object
Dim objExcel As Object, ExcelToBeOpened As String, sFileName As String

'Open the excel sheet which needs to be changed
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
ExcelToBeOpened = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files,
*.xls")
'Introduce error handling. We will have an error when we run out of files
On Error GoTo fileNotOpened
objExcel.Workbooks.Open Filename:=ExcelToBeOpened
objExcel.Visible = True

'Replace text of a cell in the 'Risk, Issue Metrics' worksheet
objExcel.Sheets("Risk, Issue Metrics").Select
objExcel.Cells(9, 1).Value = "No. of minor risks open (i.e. with risk
exposure between 3.5 and 0)"

Application.Visible = True
'Check if the computer has access to the vbprojects
Dim VBP As Object ' as VBProject
If Val(Application.Version) >= 10 Then
On Error Resume Next
Set VBP = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Your security settings do not allow this procedure to
run." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "To change your security setting:" _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & " 1. Select Tools - Macro - Security." &
vbCrLf _
& " 2. Click the 'Trusted Sources' tab" & vbCrLf _
& " 3. Place a checkmark next to 'Trust access to Visual Basic
Project.'", _
vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
End If

'Delete all code inside a VBProject

Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent

VBComps.Remove VBComp
Case Else

.DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
End With
End Select
Next VBComp

'Copy module with the new code

CopyModule ActiveWorkbook, "RiskIssueLog", objExcel.Workbooks(1)

objExcel.Workbooks(1).Save
objExcel.Workbooks.Close
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing

fileNotOpened:
'Diable error handling
