Default Update WorkBooks in Folder

Actually, I just realized. In all the work books, only these two cells have
the number value of 1.40. So a Find and replace for all work books for this
value of 1.40 to 1.3352 might be easier to do, but how without opening the
work books. Or can a macro be done to open up all work books in a folder,
then shoot off and find and replace this in all work books then close them up?

Hey guys,

Lets see if this possible with a VBA. I have over 100 work books in a
folder. There's two specific cells in each work book that I need to change.
Currently the cell is multiplying a figure times 1.40, I need a VBA if
possible to take each work book in that folder, and replace 1.40 with 1.3325
in those two cells. Those two cells being D17 and C25. Is this possible.

You have received two possible answers to your question.

No, a find and replace can not be done to all workbooks in a folder. You
would need a macro to open the workbooks and execute the command, but that
puts us back to where you already have two proposed answers.
