Thanks again Tom, I was delving into an area in which I had no
experience


so


I didn't know if it would be easier or not. But now you've brought up
a


new


issue.

I've used the DOS command to copy files, but how can it be used to
append?
Sorry, but I need some help on this one too...

All the problems you listed would be inherent in stacking them.
Just


use


the DOS copy command to append them.

Thanks Tom.

The files will be coming to me from different sources already
saved in


HTML


format. Although I could have the users send me the Excel files


instead,


each


one page document contains a different number of columns and
column


widths


making combining them in Excel difficult at best.

It could be done I suppose by copying a picture of each, but then
I'm


faced


with combining and aligning the graphics, etc. Ultimately it all
needs


to


be


converted to HTML and I just thought if there were a way to just


combine


them


(stack them one above the other in the right order) using VBA it
might
shortcut the process. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Save as HTML

Turn off the macro recorder.

Now modify the code to make it a little more dynamic.

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

Take one Excel file that has been converted (saved as) an HTML


document


from


one user. Take another one from another user, and yet a third
one.

I need to combine these into one single HTML document


programmatically


from


VBA. Is this possible? I've been looking at previous posts and
I


don't


see


anything like this...

For the most part the files just contain text and numbers or


formulas,


but


rarely could include a chart or other graphic.

If it is possible, could some one please post example code?

If it is NOT possible, could someone please enlighten me?
Thanks much in advance.
