You shouldn't disregard non-MVPs. There are many non-MVPs
who amaze me with their Excel capabilities (Bob Phillips
is one of them). Just because someone hasn't earned a MVP
it doesn't mean they don't belong in the Hall of Fame.
These American baseball players never won the MVP award
but they made the baseball Hall of Fame:

Dave Winfield
Lou Brock
Carlton Fisk
Eddie Murray
Eddie Matthews

Hello.

I am looking for an MVP to repsond to this question - no
offense.

Here's the deal...

* I have 4 workbooks
* All workbooks are formatted exactly the same, that
is, they all contain
the same number and name of worksheets and the same
formulas.
* All of the workbooks are currently seperate files and
are not linked to
any other files (I'm not interested in linking or
consolidating)
* I want to be able to open all of the workbooks, make
a change to a cell
in one of the workbooks, and have that change reflect in
all of the remaining
workbooks without making the change to each workbook
seperately (OK, I'm
lazy...), just like updating multiple worksheets within
one workbook.

So, for example, I create four workbooks, named Book1,
Book2, Book3, and
Book4. I open all of the workbooks. In Book1, cell A1,
I enter the forumla
=1+1, Enter. I want to know how to make this sinlge
formula entry reflect in
Book2, Book3, and Book4 without having to manually
either copy and paste or
enter the formula in each workbook seperately (again,
I'm lazy, and I want
the expensive Excel product to do this work for me...).

I'm just not convinced that this can't be done, until I
hear it form a MVP.
I'mnot really interested in a macro or VBA/VB code fix,
just want to know if
there is a facility within the Excel product that can
accomplish this task.
If an MVP tells me that it can be done, then I'll reat
easy, but not until
then.

Thnak you.
