Hi all,
could somebody take a look on the macro below?

This macro takes a specified range (a1:c5) of the first worksheet from all
workbooks that are in a given folder (C:\Data) and copy it to the first
worksheet of my workbook. Seems fine...
However, there is a problem if I want to save the macro in the
"Personal.xls" (so it's accesible to all workbooks) - in this case, the
macro will paste all retrieved data to the first worksheet of my
"Personal.xls" file (that is normally kept hidden). Which lines should be
modified in order to put all retrieved information to the "normal" workbook?
Any ideas?

And, by the way, is there any possibility to indicate that the macro should
take into account workbooks that not only are in a specific folder (f. ex.
C:\Data), but also have the same beginning of their name (f. ex.
"mam*.xls").

Thanks a lot for any comments!
Cheers,

Hi

Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
change to
Set basebook = Activeworkbook
