Default How to replace vba code in one excel workbook from another wor

I've already visited these sites and they are very helpful. But in this case,
this customer want an external solution to manage his excel files because it
was a one
shot deal.

So I've built a vbscript in an hta to do this.
But thank's for your suggestion I appreciate.

Hi Chris,

To cycle through the files, see VBA help on the Dir function or adapt Ron de
Bruin's sample code at:

http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy3.htm

To delete, amend or insert code, see Chip Pearson's page on programming to
the VBE at:

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.htm

I would suggest, however, that rather than replacing the existing code in
each of the 2000 workbooks, you should consider creating a single Addin and
making the Addin available to all appropriate users.

In this way, future editing could be limited to a single file,

Hi all,
Let say that I have over 2000 old excel files in one folder. Each of these
excel files contain one macro and this is the same macro in all excel
files.

I want to be able to create a script that will open each file one by one,
delete or overwrite the current macro by a new one.

All my code to open excel files is done and working. My problem is that I
don't know
how to retrieve the current macro once the file is open. Neither how to
overwrite it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Christian
