--You can open multiple workbooks and save as workspace .xlw. Opening this
workspace would open all linked workbooks.

--VBA method...Set the security level to low/medium in
(Tools|Macro|Security). Open master workbook. Press Alt+F11 to launch VBE
(Visual Basic Editor). From the left treeview search for the workbook name
and click on + to expand it. Within that you should see the following

VBAProject(Your_Filename)
Microsoft Excel Objects
Sheet1(Sheet1)
Sheet2(Sheet2)
Sheet3(Sheet3)
This Workbook

Double click 'This WorkBook' and paste the below code to the right code pane.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Workbooks.Open Me.Path & "\data.xls"
End Sub

SaveClose and re-open master file..which should open the data.xls from the
same folder

Include the following event macro in the workbook code area of the test
workbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Workbooks.Open ("C:\data.xls")
End Sub

Because it is workbook code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tiny Excel icon just to the left of File on the Menu Bar
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
