Default Open, Update, and Close files automatically

Hi All,

I'm looking for a piece of code that will open up 14 Excel files that each
file has a 'Data' sheet linked to an Access query plus many other sheets,
Refresh the data sheet and subsequently all the other sheets, then close the
file. I want this for all 14 files. All files are stored in the same folder
on a network drive.

Setup the files on auto refresh everytime it's open is not an option as
these are large models with many complex formula and the data gets updated
once a week, while the users use thses models files every day. So we don't
want our users to wait for a few minutes for the files to recalculate every
time they open a file. I'd rather have it done once a week over night or
early morning.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
