for each sh in bk.Worksheets
sh.UsedRange.formula = sh.UsedRange.Value

I'm hitting a run-time error 438 Object doesn't support this property or

for each sh in bk

Also, the source files are linked, so it asks me if I want to update the
links first. Can this be defaulted to "No" - i.e. Don't Update?

I'm trying to take data from 74 Excel files, 8 worksheets and import it into
an Access database. I'm fairly fluent in Access, and I can accomplish this,
but the import process is extremely slow (5 hours) due to the fact all the
Excel files are linked. If I use Copy/Paste Special/Values, the links are
broken and the import time drops to about an hour, which is acceptable.

I'm looking for an automated means in Excel to loop through all 74 files, 8
worksheets per file, and apply a Copy/Paste Special/Values command within
each worksheet. Help?
