Simple enough, although I didn't see any Close code,

Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=.FoundFiles(i), UpdateLinks:=0)
wb.Close savechanges:=False

That's brilliant

Thx so much

One more question, after I open each workbook, I want to close it without
saving and no prompt message asking "Do u want to save ..?" . Also each
time
when I open the workbook, I do not want to update the workbook so can you
advise me the code to avoid pop-up message asking "Do you want to update
the
workbook...?"

Appreciate your help.

Also Dim first as Long.

Dim first, last As Long
Should be
Dim first As Long, last As Long

Otherwise first is Dimmed as Variant and only last is Dimmed as Long.

Also, any chance that first could = 1?
Then first = first - 1 would be in error.

Put a space between first and &.

Range("A" & first &":H" & last).Copy
