Default Find a workbook and "overwrite it with the latest Excel format"

Hello All,

I conduct a daily download of several large queries from a remote Oracle
database. I save these queries as Excel Workbooks for import into an MS
Access database.

The problem I have is that the process is mostly automated with the
exception of the fact that I must go to each WB that I save and open them
and click "Save". This will bring up the dialogue box stating... "myfile.xls
is a Microsoft Excel 2.1 Worksheet. Do you want to overwrite it with the
latest Excel format?", at which point I click yes and it is updated to MS
Excel 2003. I have searched high and low but cannot seem to find a vba
example or instructions on how to write a macro that will

1st: Look in a directory/file path and identify all the files there so code
can be executed on each .xls in the dir.

2nd: Update each of the above identified files "with the latest Excel format"

Has anyone done this, seen code snippets or have more insight than this VBA
newbee to figure out a solution to this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick
