Default why it not writing to target files?

Jim,
Thanks a lot. Both BrianB and your suggestions help me to solve the
problem...

Get rid of "Sheet1". This is a "code name" that refers only to the

project
running the code.

ActiveSheet.Range("O1").Value = "Martyn"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close

| Sub Insert()
| Dim mesaj As String
| Dim FilesArray() As String, FileCounter As Integer
| Dim FName As String, LoopCounter As Integer
| FName = Dir("c:\my documents\test\*.xls")
| Do While FName < ""

| ReDim Preserve FilesArray(1 To FileCounter)
| FilesArray(FileCounter) = FName
| FName = Dir()
| Loop

| Application.ScreenUpdating = False
| For LoopCounter = 1 To FileCounter
| Workbooks.Open "c:\my documents\test\" &
| FilesArray(LoopCounter), False
| With ActiveSheet
| Sheet1.Range("O1").Value = "Martyn"
| ActiveWorkbook.Save
| ActiveWorkbook.Close
| Next
| End If
| End Sub
