Macro - New Workbook

[Goaliemenace]

I have a macro that opens a new workbook and creates 120 tabs of information,
everything process correctly works perfectly only when run for the first
time. The issue is when i run the macro again, Excel now opens "book2" The
macro then stops as it is set for Book 1. Can this variable be adjusted for

Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("book1").Activate

This is where it runs all the subsequent part of the macro from. The macro
before this opens up a new work book with the tab settings then it grabs the
required info and copies it and then goes to the workbook.

Please help

Cheers

hi Goaliemenace

Here are two examples of how you can set a variable to be a workbook
The first is when you open an existing file & the second is if you ar
create a file...



VBA Code:
--------------------


Option Explicit
Sub Macro2()
Dim Createdwb As Workbook
Set Createdwb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="blah.xls")
'or
Set Createdwb = Workbooks.Add
'other code, eg...
Createdwb.activate
'free memory
Set Createdwb = Nothing
End Sub

--------------------
