Thanks for the offer but I am happy with my Excel and don't need any other
applications.

Perhaps you could post a screen shot to one of these sites.

I don't understand this statement

No multiple workbooks open at the same time won't work due to the fact that some of the
data is also used on the others

Sorry about the caps I didn't notice them untill I submitted it. No multiple

download and install either anilizerxl or traderxl you will see what I'm
trying to do.

It is possible to have multiple workbooks open in a single session of Excel.

You can even have multiple windows with a workbook/sheet in each window.

Would that serve your purpose?

Also............please drop the CAPS.......hard to read and very hard on the
ears.

tHE NUMBER OF SHEETS IN EACH OF THE WORKBOOKS VARIES, THE TRADE JOURNAL WILL
HAVE NUMERIOUS SHEETS IN THEM NAMES BY EACH DIFFERENT STOCK TRADED. I WAS
WANTING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT TO WHERE I COULD JUST JUMP FROM THE TRADE
JOURNAL TO THE PROFIT/LOSS SHEET TO ENTER DATA AND TO BE ABLE TO GO FROM THE
SMO1 OR 2 SHEETS TO THE TRADE JOURNAL BOOK TO EHTER THE STOCK PER SHEET. SO
YOU SEE THAT THE TRADE JOURNAL BOOK WILL GET VERY LARGE SO IT WOULDN'T BE TOO
PRODUCTIVE TO HAVE THEM ALL IN ONE WORKBOOK UNLESS I CAN HAVE IT TO WHERE I
COULD HAVE THEM TABBED TO GO BETWEEN THEM.

How many sheets in each of the 5 workbooks?

Do these sheets have unique names that would not be duplicated in each of
the 5 workbooks?

Maybe just move the sheets from each workbook into one new workbook.

You can do that manually. Select all sheets in a workbook at once and
right-click on active sheet tab and Move or CopyCreate a copy

Otherwise you get into VBA which Ron de Bruin covers very well at his site.

I'm not a programmer so this may sound dumb, but how do I create one workbook
combining about 5 workbooks or better yet take 5 workbooks and put them all
into one master workbook where they cam be tabed through. I'm not versed on
vb so I don't understand it very much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
