Macro to a specific sheet in Excel as different workbook

I have a button that runs a macro, but it isn't working. When I click the button, i am trying to save Sheet2 as filename "Import.csv" in the "C:\ToImport" folder. So the steps I manually take are:

1. Click on Sheet2
2. File>Save As>"Import.csv"

I would like to keep my original .mxlsx spreadsheet open so I can do more with it. Any help writing this macro would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks EQUINN. That unfortunately didn't work. Do I need Sub and End Sub at the begging and end? I tried it a few ways and it just takes me to Sheet2 but doesn't save the file.

Sorry, yes you do need a Sub and End Sub before and after.  

It works for me.  Why don't you post your code and we can have a look?

Just to confirm, you are saving to an existing directory, correct?

Thanks EQUINN for looking at this. Here's my code:

Sub Import()
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Sheets("Sheet2").Copy
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\ToImport\Import.csv", _
        FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

I have a button on Sheet1 that runs the macro. I don't know if that makes any difference. Correct, i am saving it to an existing directory. Thanks!

Ok, so when I run the macro in Sheet2, it works. But when I click the button on Sheet1, it doesn't work. It just takes me to Sheet2 but doesn't do anything. How do I get this so I can click the button on Sheet1? Also, how do I get it so the new created spreadsheet doesn't open. I don't need it to open. Thanks!

It should work.
Try to remove Sheets("Sheet2").Select and see if that resolves the issue.

Unfortunately still no luck. When in Sheet1, I run the macro, and it doesn't work.
