Default Open all files in folder automatically using VBA

Hi-

I have a folder with multiple excel files in it and currently have a
macro that goes through each file and pulls certain data into Access.
The problem I have is that this folder is dynamic. The names and the
number of files varies from month to month. The way my macro works now
is it opens a specific file....runs the macro....and then closes the
file. I have about 60 individual instructions for each of the files.
Open specific file.....call Macro....close file.....open next
file....call Macro.....close file.....etc.

My question is this: Is there a way...using VBA...to point to a
specific folder and run a macro for EVERY file in that folder?? I
don't want to tell Excel what file to open....I just want it to open
every file in the folder....run this macro against each file....and
then close the files.

Anyway this can be done or do I have to be specific in what I tell
Excel to open??

Thanks in advance!!

-Chris
