wanting to use macros to track task completed by our team's administrative
assistants. Have four workbooks, the master workbook where the information
is copied to and then each admin has a separate workbook where they record
the date they completed the task. I don't want to have to go into each
workbook to see what's being completed.

okay, you probably already figured this out. I usually assign my master
sheet a variable name in my macros so it will work with name changes. I will
be calling the other sheets generic names that you will have to hard code or
ask for in a popup.


dim cname
cname = activeworkbook.name


windows("bob.xls").activate
call Getdata123
windows("paul.xls").activate
call Getdata123
windows("stan.xls").activate
call Getdata123
windows("Flo.xls").activate

sub Getdata123(cname)

sheets("sheet1").select
range("a1:az24").select
selection.copy
windows(cname).activate
range("a1").select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown


end sub
