A simple question. How do I set a cell value in another
workbook without activating it first? Let's say I have two
workbooks (WB1.xls and WB2.xls) and I need to fill in
range A1..A5 in WB1.xls with values from range A1..A5 in
WB2.xls (and I don't want to use copy method).

I have tried this kind of solution:

Windows("WB1.xls").Activate
For X=1 to 5
'this next line gives me an error
Windows("WB2.xls").Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(X,1)=Cel ls(X,1)
Next X

but it is not working. How should I solve this?

Of course!!!!

Thank You.
