Default Want to make changes to multiple excel work books at one time

I don't have Lotus-123. Is thhe conversion just opening up each workbook as
wk1 and then saving the file as xls. then going back a changing the file
referrences (links) from .wk1 to .xls?

A macro could be written to do what I described.

Hi guys,
I have about 200 cost sheets all set up to pull from a source page which
then pulls from a master list I would like to know if there is a way to
update the links in all the pages at once? To be more specific my company is
changing from lotus 1-2-3 to the new excel 2007 and I am in charge of
updating all of it. I have in my folder now about 200 cost sheets that need
to be updated to new excel code and the link to the source file changed, now
the code will be similar on all files, although each column has it's own
vlook function so I don't know if that would be able to be automated but I
figured to link to the source book could be changed in all of them at once
any help would be greatly appriciated.
P.S. I am talking about a MASS amount of data the master file has
first sheet with about 4000 lines times 8 columns all code, with 6 sheets
behind it with about 400 lines of all code. Then of course the 500 cost
sheets (FUN FOR ME!!!)
