Hi Chip,
I feel kinda blessed to get a response from you....
To plain vanilla programmers like me, it is like getting a note from Santa.
Thanks for the tip.
I would really like to use the code from your website as shown below. When I
do, I get an "object required" error on the function call line of code.
Can you tell me what is wrong with the code?
And a second question: If I have a macro shortcut associated with the copied
module, will that be included? If not, is there code I can use to make that
happen?
Warmest regards.....
Sub test()
Call CopyModule("Module2", Sunday.xls, Sunday2.xls, True)

Try code like
Const FILENAME = "C:\Temp\Module1.bas"
On Error Resume Next
MkDir "C:\Temp"
Kill FILENAME
On Error GoTo 0
Workbooks("Book1.xls").VBProject.VBComponents("Module1").Export _
FILENAME:=FILENAME
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks("Book2.xls").VBProject.VBComponents
.Remove .Item("Module1")
End With
Workbooks("Book2.xls").VBProject.VBComponents.Import _

Kill FILENAME

I am using Excel 2003.
I have two open workbooks: one containing a macro and another workbook with
no modules.
I want to copy Module1 from the macro workbook to the other open workbook.
I found some code that I tried to adapt but it is not working.
Can someone tell me how to fix it?
Do I need to add any specific references?
Sub CopyModule()
Dim strFolder As String
Dim strTempFile As String
Dim TargetWB As Workbook
Dim SourceWB As Workbook
Dim strModuleName As String
strTempFile = "C:\test\" & "~tmpexport.bas"
Set SourceWB = Workbooks("Book1")
Set TargetWB = Workbooks("Book2")
strModuleName = "Module1.bas"
SourceWB.VBProject.VBComponents(strModuleName).Export strTempFile
TargetWB.VBProject.VBComponents.Import strTempFile
Kill strTempFile
End Sub
.
