    Open File / Copy Sheet / Break Links / Save As

    Hello all,

    I need some help with a macro, so if you have a few minutes, please help:
    - i have the following macro in a worksheet and what is does is: it opens a workbook "XXX", update the links, copy the sheet "ABC" to a new file, add 7 days to the date found on cell J7, break links and save the new file on desktop.
    - return to the original file, copy again the sheet ABC to a new workbook, add 14 to the date in J7, break links and save the new file on desktop.

    Everything is working just fine when executed normally, but when i move the code to Personal.xlsB, the resulted dates are not correct.
    I suspect that beeing executed fro Personal.xlsb workbook, i should declare some other variables?

    Could you please help?
    Thank you so much in advance.


    This is the code:

    Hi

    Although Excel displays dates in whatever format you prefer, the actual cell contents are a numeric value of 'days'.
    So you could simplify your code by replacing...
    Range("J7").Value = DateAdd("d", 7, CDate(Range("J7")))
    with..
    [J7] = [J7] + 7

    and similarly..
    Range("J7").Value = DateAdd("d", 14, CDate(Range("J7")))
    with..
    [J7] = [J7] + 14
