there's somehting wrong with the syntax of the following but i cant work out
what:

With Workbooks("G:\MI Report\Source Tables-DIR-Producers\Source Table -
Merge Template - Direct.xls")

.MergeWorkbook ("G:\MI Report\Source Tables-DIR-Producers\Source
Table-DIR-Producer JL.AP.xls")
.MergeWorkbook ("G:\MI Report\Source Tables-DIR-Producers\Source
Table-DIR-Producer SK.CG.xls")
.MergeWorkbook ("G:\MI Report\Source Tables-DIR-Producers\Source
Table-DIR-Producer ZB.KP.xls")

For Each sh In .Worksheets

sh.Visible = True
sh.Columns.EntireColumn.Hidden = False

Next sh

End With

error seems to be due to the full path ref.

i've tried taking out .xls but this makes no difference

please help
