This novice is stumped. I have reviewed the blogs etal on vba and cannot get over this hurdle.
Objective - vba code to open up 50 files in a directory, one at a time (no on linksupdate), copy a consistent named range "deptupload" to a master worksheet which contains this vba macro., then close file. FileName = 75 aUpload Dbase.xls is master consolidating 'to' file, which contains this vba. Sheet name for compiling the data is 'upload' in this master file. ....Needs to perform the copy/pastevalues at end of range from the previous copy/pastevalues. Below is my humble attempt...erroring at the Workbooks.Open command, which requires filename, which is the next line. However, I clearly have not coded correctly. I could easily place the 50 specific file names in a list in the master file if this simplifies matters....with or without the full directory path. fyi....I am in Excel 2003....(after finding after 2hrs the Application.FileSearch will not work in Excel 2007). Thanks so much, Mike.
