Thanks Alexander! One more question. Using the example that you sent in my original message:

For Each ws in oApp.Worksheets
ws.Activate()
EndFor

How do I incorporate that into the following code? Just wanted this for future reference. I'm new to automation and I'm confused as I'm not sure where the reference of the object "ws." fits in below.

oExcel = createobject('Excel.Application')
oExcel.Workbooks.Open(getFile('xls'))
oexcel.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:H120").Copy
lcData = _cliptext
oexcel.quit

>oXL.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
