Default Merging XLS Files

Ok question for you... Ive been reading through your tutorial and been
playing around implementing it into my master record. Few questions.
The header on each page goes from Cell A1:F1, A2:F2, & A3:F3. So the
actual data doesnt start till A4:F4. So how do i set it to only start
copying the information from A4:F4 and beyond all the way down to the
bottom of the page wether it be A100:F100 or A500:F500.

Then it needs to start inserting the data into field A4 on the master.

Your help is appreciated.

Heres my goal. I have a directory full of .xls files, around 500 or
so. I would like to
merge all these files (all located in c:\data) into one master file.
Doing
this through a macro would be prefered because importing each file
individually would take about 2 months to complete :)

All XLS files are the same. The formating in all 500 xls files are
identical. The only thing that varies is the data held with-in. The
columns and what not are the same. They just hold information for
specific dates. And I want to make one master that combines all the
information from the past 2 years into one XLS file.

Any help with this? Im new to macro's and dont really know where to
start :(
