Hi !

I want to concatenate excel files found in one directory
by having one Workbook with multiple worksheets named
after the files found. The problem is that I get different
colour after the concatenation on the fonts and the
backgrounds ! Any guess why ?

Thanks in advance

It looks like you're copying the existing sheet (including formats) with this
line:

FoundBook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:=newBook.Worksheets(intB)

Maybe you could apply the format you want after you do the copy:

with activesheet.cells 'the copied sheet is now active
.numberformat = "General"
.Font.ColorIndex = 0
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
end with

Or maybe you could add a new worksheet and then copy the cells, but paste
special|formulas (or paste special values)????
