Default Combining Files

Since column B is empty, your line

Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy _
basebook.Worksheets(1).Range("a1").End(xlDown).Off set(1, 0)

is failing with .CurrentRegion because it lacks contiguous data. Use a
RowCount on Range("A1").CurrentRegion and then copy Range("A1:R" & RowCount)

I got this code from google. It almost does exactly what I need but there

is one problem. What I have is in a direstiry I have a number of files, I
won't know their names or how many of them, but they are all organized the
same way. They each only have one sheet. I need to take all of the files
and combine them into one file on one sheet. The problem is some of the
columns are empty, however none of the rows are. So my data is continuious
by row but not by column. This code copies all of the data in column A onto
one sheet but since column B is empty it doesn't get the data from C or D.
Is there anyway to change this code to make it work in this situation. (As
a side note if this helps, I will know that column R is the last one with
data in it.)

Sub Consolidate()
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change this to your directory
.LookIn = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Files\Data\"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() 0 Then
Set basebook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(1))
For i = 2 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy _
basebook.Worksheets(1).Range("a1").End(xlDown).Off set(1, 0)
mybook.Close
Next i
basebook.SaveAs _
Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Consolidated file.xls")
End If
End With

With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With


End Sub

I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone can give me on this.
