Try something like the following code:

Sub MergeFiles()
Dim FName As String
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim Dest As Range
Const FOLDERNAME = "C:\Temp" '<<< CHANGE
ChDrive FOLDERNAME
ChDir FOLDERNAME

Set Dest = Range("A1")
FName = Dir("*.xls")

Do Until FName = ""
Set WB = Workbooks.Open(FName)
WB.Worksheets(1).Rows(2).Copy Destination:=Dest
WB.Close savechanges:=False
Set Dest = Dest(2, 1)
FName = Dir()
Loop
End Sub

I currently have 1500 different Excel files from a survey. The
top row
contains the question and the 2nd row contains the answers.
What I
would like to do if find a way to take the information in the
2nd row
of each file and dump it into one spreadsheet.

I can write a macro to copy paste the information, however, the
files
that I am copying the information from are obviously named
differently
and I am not sure how to tell Excel to paste in the next
available row
only a particular cell.

Is there a way that I could automate this entire process
instead of
opening up each file and copy paste?

Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
