Merging Workbooks
 
Hi!..Does anyone have any ideas on how you would do the following?

I want to have 1 main work book (workbook 1) with only one sheet. On that
sheet I want to create 3 buttons. Button 1 creates a link/marco to open
another workbook (workbook 2) automatically when the button is clicked,
button 2 creates a link/marco to open workbook 3 automatically when button is
clicked and button 3 creates link/marco to open workbook 4 automatticall when
button is clicked

Is this even possible?

Many thanks for any help in advance!

What do you want to do ?

Copy data from that workbook or create formula links to cells in that workbook.
Are the workbooks always the same ?

sorry it was a bit unclear after i read it...basically what i need to get
going is...i need one 'main workbook' with 3 buttons on it.
Each button when pressed will navigate to another 3 other 'workbooks' i
have. (so four in total including the main one)

EG. The Main Workbook will have:
- The first button labeled 'Forex' and navigate to a 'workbook' named 'Forex'
- The second button labeled 'Commodities' and navigate to a 'workbook' named
'Commodities'
- The third button labeled 'Options' and navigate to a 'workbook' named
'Options'

i really, really appreciate this. this is the final component of my project
and it has been stressing trying to work it all out.

Just insert hyperlinks to those files. Does it really have to be a button?
