I have a directory of X amount of .xls files. They are all in the same
format, just different numbers. I would simply like to use a bit of
code to scan through every file and copy 2 different cells into one
line of a .txt file. The results would be like:

139 $1,000.00
244 $3,235.54
456 $ 896.66

Ron de Bruin has various ways to do that at ...

Jim, thanks for directing me to that link, it's been very helpful.
There's one thing I'm having trouble with, though. I need to "set a
reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 library in the VBA
editor." I'm not sure how to do this...can you please help?

Thanks!

In the VBE , (that's the place that you write your code), go to the
menu bar and select: Tools | References.
In the drop down list, find and checkmark the library name.
I have several versions of the ...Data Objects library listed.
It's probably best to checkmark the latest version.

Thanks for your help, I included the reference like you suggested and it
works just fine now.

Take care,
Brian
