Sorry,
as I said, I've never experimented with the techniques for retrieving data from
Excel files without opening them.
But I've seen several discussion threads regarding these techniques.
Have a look and see if they can help you.

Paul

Subject: FW: $$Excel-Macros$$ How to Copy data from different Excel files into 
a single Excel Sheet in appended way?


Hi Paul,

There are excel files with different sheet in it. I need to capture details of 
specific sheet. Also it is nice if the details are collected without opening 
Excel. I am comfortable with VBA and having working experience on Macros in 
Excel. I need some basic code so that I can go forward.

Regards,
Hitesh.
