I have a series of Excel spreadsheets (probably 135 - 150 ) that I need to
retrieve data and put the data into an access database. I have the VBA code
so that it retrieves the data from an individual spreadsheet. I think I can
set up VB code to loop thru a folder and open each excel object get the
information I need and update the database.

What is the best way to accomplish this goal?
1. Is it better to write VB code to go to a folder, loop thru the objects
(ie: open the spreadsheet, update the database and then move to the next
spreadsheet).
2. Is it better to copy the VBA code into a module for each spreadsheet,
open the spreadsheet, update the database, close the spreadsheet and repeat.

Looking for some opinions on what should be the "best" way to accomplish the
task. I think looping the Excel objects would be much of the same as going
thru the Outlook object for example.

Something like this: For Each objExcel In objExcelColl

Thanks for any comments, ideas, insight, code etc!

Tom
