Running a procedure for multiple workbooks.
Dear Sir/Madam
How do you run a procedure for multiple workbooks in different locations/folders?
i.e. we need to change a specific cell in 40 different excel spreadsheets all located in different folders. This cell has to increase in number by one every financial period.
Kind Regards,
Ben

The computer needs to load the workbook into the system, then change the relevant cells and close
To do this
Workbooks.Open Filename:= The full path of the workbook eg. "c:\My Docs\book1.xls"
Then write the code to go in and change the relevant cell
Activeworkbook.Save
Activeworkbook.Close
If you want you can use a list of all the Workbook paths. Then create a variable eg.
Dim MyWorkbook as String
With which you replace filename path above.
Create a loop that loads each new Workbook name into the variable and then runs the above code.

I wonder whether it wouldn't be easier to have a handler for the Workbook.Open event, which checks the current date (Date function), calculates the appropriate financial period, and updates the cell accordingly.
