Help! My boss wants some stats. In order to get her what she needs, I will
have to open several hundred password protected workbooks (each workbook has
five pages), copy a column from worksheet 4, and paste the values to a new
workbook. I tried using Access to gather the data, but it just laughed at me.

Any suggestions on how to make the work go faster?

WinXP, Office 2003.

Thanks!
