Workbooks Property
Returns a Workbooks collection that represents all the open workbooks. Read-only.
For information about returning a single member of a collection, see Returning an Object from a Collection.
Remarks
Using this property without an object qualifier is equivalent to using Application.Workbooks
.
The collection returned by the Workbooks property doesn’t include open add-ins, which are a special kind of hidden workbook. You can, however, return a single open add-in if you know the file name. For example, Workbooks("Oscar.xla")
will return the open add-in named "Oscar.xla" as a Workbook object.
Example
This example activates the workbook Book1.xls.
Workbooks("BOOK1").Activate
This example opens the workbook Large.xls.
Workbooks.Open filename:="LARGE.XLS"
This example saves changes to and closes all workbooks except the one that’s running the example.
For Each w In Workbooks
If w.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
w.Close savechanges:=True
End If
