    Post Create user input box for range row in Excel

    I have recorded macro to copy (A3:M3) and paste specific cells (A3:M3) to another workbooks specific cells(A3:M3).
    My problem is that I would like to create a command button to do function,
    BUT have the ability to change row value
    IE: if I select 3 in row input box it copies cells(A3:M3)
    if I select 4 in row input box it copies cells(A4:M4)
    if I select 5 in row input box it copies cells(A5:M5)
    the cells will ALWAYS be pasted into the same target cells in 2nd workbook (A3:M3)
    any suggestions (I am trying to create a command to create an estimate from call log entry)


    Sub testcopy()
    '
    ' testcopy Macro
    '

    '
    Range("A3:M3").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Windows("Mid Template rev56.xltm").Activate
    Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
    "C:\Users\AY\Memphis\Custom Office Templates\Mid Template rev56.xltm" _
    , Editable:=True
    Sheets("DASHBOARD").Select
    ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-51
    Range("A3:M3").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
    :=False, Transpose:=False
    Windows("(CALL LOG).xlsx").Activate
    End Sub

    use CODE TAGS when posting your code, makes it so much easier to read

    try like this in your command button

    Code:
    rw = inputbox("Enter first row number")
    cells(rw, 1).resize((, 13).copy
    Set wb= Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
    "C:\Users\AY\Memphis\Custom Office Templates\Mid Template rev56.xltm" _
    , Editable:=True)
    wb.sheets("dashboard"),cells(3, 1).pastespecial, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
    :=False, Transpose:=False
    wb.close True   ' save and close or omit if you want to leave open
    though i am not sure you should be editing a template file every time, more likely open a new file based on the existing template

    i only typed this in the browser, so may contain typos or code errors
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
