Check for a value before importing a row

C

Carlee

Hi everyone,

I have two workbooks: Source and Destination.

I use the following code to import a single row of data from Source
workbook, "Copreco Daily Reading Submission" Sheet 1, into the Destination
Workbook, Copreco Master Log, Sheet "Daily Reading Master Log"

Issue: I need to capture the date value in "Copreco Daily Reading
Submission," Sheet 1 (Column A, Row 2), and make sure "Copreco Master Log",
Sheet "Daily Reading Master Log", Column B, does not contain that date. If
it does, cancel process, otherwise, continue with process.

I have figured out how to search for a value while in the same the workbook,
but am not sure how to do this with two workbooks. Any assistance would be
really great.

Sub CopyFromCoprecoReading()
'these have to do with THIS workbook
'name of the sheet to get data from
Const destSheet = "Daily Reading Master Log" ' in HQ master workbook
'****

'NEW workbook created each time to put new data
'into as set up this code will overwrite any
'existing file of this name without any warning.

Const sourceSheet = "Sheet1"

I did not set up a test on this, so you will have to test it. Let me
know if there is a problem.

Assumes both workbooks are open:
Sub ckDte()
Dim wkb1 as Workbook
Dim wkb2 as workbook
Set wkb1 = Workbooks("Corpreco Daily Reading Submission.xls")
Set wkb2 = workbooks("Corpreco Master Log.xls")
myDte = wkb1.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 1).Value
For Each c In wkb2.Sheets("Daily Reading Master Log").Range("B2:B" & Cells
_(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row)
If c = myDte Then
MsgBox "Date Found"
Exit Sub
End If
Exit Sub

Sorry...here is the code you requested:

Function GetMaxLastRow() As Long
If Val(Left(Application.Version, 2)) < 12 Then
'in pre-Excel 2007 version
GetMaxLastRow = Rows.Count
Else
'in Excel 2007 (or later?)
GetMaxLastRow = Rows.CountLarge
End If
End Function

I applied the sub procedure, and i got the following error:
Variable not Defined, and stops at 'myDate'
