typo:

Replace(insertbook.Name,".xls,"")

should be


Replace(insertbook.Name,".xls","")

Note that the replace command was added in xl2000.

With the code below I get a range of cells from different files and put
it in a new file named globalbook

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls),
*.xls", _
MultiSelect:=True)
..
For... ...
..
globalbook.Worksheets("X").Cells(r, 1).Value = insertbook.Name
r+1
..


The last line writes the name of each file on sheet X

My problem is that I don't need the *.xls * to be written on sheet
X...*how can I easily trim the .xls from the filename?*
