Hi, damianpadden

If you have Excel installed the easiest way to learn the VBA syntax is to actually record a macro (Tools/Macros/) in Excel and then read the code (Alt+F11)...

I'm assuming that your problem is, in fact, copying the data from Book1.xls/Sheet1!$D:$I into Book2.xls/Sheet1!$D or simply from one sheet to another... the VB would look like this: 

    Columns("D:I").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("D1").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste

With the exception of ActiveSheet.Paste this should be easily converted to Win32::OLE syntax.

#With simplifications...
#Assume you already have a $ExcelAp, $Book and $Sheet1 & 2 object/vari
+able set up
$Sheet1->Columns("D:I")->Copy();
$Sheet2->Range("D1")->Select();
$Sheet2->Paste();
