Hi All..........

If someone would be so kind, I am in need of a macro that will reside in a
Master WorkBook and when run as a "before save event", would open and allow
update all links therein, and save, one at a time, all other .xls files in
the same directory whose filename start with "XY-" no
quotes............exact quantity of the files is unknown, but may be 10 to
100. Any other files in the directory, including the Master, not having the
leading "XY-" in their filename are not to be affected.


TIA..........

Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3

Dim v() as String
Dim sName as String
Dim i as Long, j as Long
redim v(1 to 100)

sName = dir( _
thisworkbook.Path & "\XY-*.xls")
i = 0
Do while sName < ""
i = i + 1
v(i) = thisworkbook.Path & "\" & sname
sName = Dir()
Loop
redim preserve v(1 to i)
for j = 1 to ubound(v)
set bk = workbooks.Open( _
FileName:=v(j), UpdateLinks:=3)
bk.close Savechanges:=True
Next

Untested, but this should be something like what you are looking for (as I
understand you question and it wasn't real clear). Assumes master does not
start with XY-
