retrieving data from one workbook to a worksheet in another workbo

[Amedea_C]

I am trying to use the following program to retrieve data from a worksheet in
one workbook to a worksheet in a different workbook, however, it doesn't seem
to work. Can anyone tell me what's wrong plz?

i am trying to retrive data from the target tab named "Supervisor
Instructions", in the target file "PushInstructions.xls" to the source tab
"EXT CO", in the source file "Extraction Op.xls"
-------
Private Sub Retrieve_Click()

MsgBox "Hello"

Call WriteInstructions("H:\PushInstructions.xls", "Supervisor Instructions",
"EXT CO", 8, 10, 58, 10)

End Sub

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

Public Sub WriteInstructions(TGTWKBook, TGtTabName, SrcTabName, startcell1,
endcell1, startcell, endcell)

Workbooks.Open (TGTWKBook)
entrydata = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(SrcTabName).Range(("B" & startcell),
"B" & (startcell + endcell)).Value

j = 1

Do Until (j > endcell)
MsgBox "Value of I is " & j & " AND Instruct data is " &
entrydata(j, 1) & "spreadsheet name:" & SrcTabName
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(TGtTabName).Cells(startcell1, 2).Value
= entrydata(j, 1)
j = j + 1
startcell1 = startcell1 + 1
Loop

' MsgBox "startcell1 is" & startcell1 & " end cell1 is " & endcell1 & "
sheetname " & tabname
While (startcell1 <= endcell1)
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(TGtTabName).Cells(startcell1,
2).Value = ""
startcell1 = startcell1 + 1
Wend

ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close True


End Sub
