    Personal.XLSB macro pasting into Personal.XLSB

    I have a worksheet that I need to perform some copy and paste operations on when it's opened, which I do with a macro in PERSONAL.XLSB. It's a really long and messy macro, but the critical part of it is this, as far as I can tell:

    Which is for some reason pasting into PERSONAL.XLSB. I tried getting rid of the "Sheet1" in PERSONAL.XLSB but that just caused an error. Is there a better way of pointing Excel at the spreadsheet I want?

    Re: Personal.XLSB macro pasting into Personal.XLSB

    I'm not an expert by any means, but, I THINK it either because the workbook isn't being named so it's pasting into the workbook that the macro is in. OR, it's the ActiveSheet.Paste line, which will paste into the workbook that is open and active on the screen.
    Again, I could be wayyyyyyy wrong on this, so if I am, my apologies in advance.
    Edit* If anyone sees this and knows/thinks I am incorrect, PLEASE do not hesitate to correct me [tactfully I hope]

    I tried it with .activate as well as .select, but both ways it continued to paste into PERSONAL.XLSB. I'm a bit stuck.

    That was just the job, and helped with all of the other trouble I was having with it too - saved a lot of questions!
