    Referencing sheets after copying

    Excerpt from my macro:

    When I use:

    This applies to the sheets in the new workbook.

    When I use:

    This applies to the sheets in the original workbook - why is this?

    Can I use the sheet codename to reference the relevant one in the new workbook?

    One thing I tried was:

    at the relevant points, then use:

    but that gave an error - what is the correct way to express this?

    Thanks in advance.

    It would be best if you explained what you are trying to do. If you have more than one workbook in play you ought to add a reference to that as well as the worksheet.

    Re: Referencing sheets after copying

    I am trying to copy two sheets to a new workbook then enter the following:

    On the new workbook, but can't understand why 'Sheet23' references the original workbook, but 'Sheets("wage and revenue") references the new one.

    And I have tried your suggestion, but as described above am unable to get the syntax right when using the codename:

    works fine, but:

    You can only use the codename when referring to a sheet in the same project (workbook) as the code, unless you set a reference to the other workbook (very difficult if you just created it at runtime).
