Need to replace one sheet named "MKR15" in 40 different files.
The file containing the new copy of "MKR15" is "c:\work\source.xls".

A list of the file names (including paths) is in "filelist.xls" in cells a1:a40.

I'd like to write VB code to perform this operation.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Mark

Try this Mark
copy the macro in "c:\work\source.xls"
file path/names in Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A40")


Sub test()
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A40")
On Error Resume Next
Set Wb = Workbooks.Open(cell.Value)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Wb.Sheets("MKR15").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MKR15").Copy after:=Wb.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Wb.Close True
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Wb.Sheets("MKR15").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

must be

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Wb.Sheets("MKR15").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Put this code in filelist.xls (Assumes file names are on Sheet1 in this
book). It will take the MKR15 sheet, delete it in the file and replace the
one from source.xls in the same sheet position

Sub ChangeMKR15()
Dim shtNew As Worksheet
Dim sourceWB As Workbook
Dim currWB As Workbook
Dim rRange As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim iIndex As Integer

On Error Resume Next

With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

Set rRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A40")
Set sourceWB = Workbooks.Open("C:\Work\Source.xls")
Set shtNew = sourceWB.Worksheets("MKR15")
For Each myCell In rRange
Set currWB = Workbooks.Open(myCell.Value)
iIndex = currWB.Worksheets("MKR15").Index
currWB.Worksheets("MKR15").Delete
If iIndex currWB.Worksheets.Count Then
shtNew.Copy after:=currWB.Worksheets(iIndex - 1)
Else
shtNew.Copy Befo=currWB.Worksheets(iIndex)
End If
currWB.Close SaveChanges:=True
Set currWB = Nothing
Next myCell

sourceWB.Close (False)
Set rRange = Nothing
Set sourceWB = Nothing
Set shtNew = Nothing
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub

I meant to explain why I've done certain things here before I posted.

I've tried to assume that sometimes you already have these files open -
which is why there are If Err statements everywhere.
I also assume that MKR15 is the only worksheet in those 40 workbooks.
Since you can't delete the last sheet, it renames it first, copied the new
sheet, then deleted the old.
Also creates the file1 - 40 if it doesn't yet exist.

Cheers,
Rob
