That was it, Dave!

Looks like Chip's suggestions will work for me; thanks again!

See one guess at your first post.

I haven't found personal.xls to work well, myself (see my post below).
On
my machine, the subs in personal.xls only fire when the first default
worksheet is loaded, then do nothing when additional workbooks are
created/opened.

You have any idea why this is?

You could record and store a macro then save it to your personal
macros.
Assigning a hotkey to this would mean you could load any file and
press
the
relevent key combination to execute the macro.

Just remember to save the changes to personal.xls when prompted.

However even this may be tedious for 60 files. Depending on the
complexity
you could wrap the operation you want to perform into a macro then
write a
function which loads all the workbooks in a directory (for example)
one by
one and executes the macro on each (saving as you go if required).
This
is
obviously more demanding but certainly possible and maybe necessary
depending on what you want to do.
