rookie,
Any chance of a hint as to which part "does not work properly" ?

One thing I see you have a "With newBook" block in a "With
Application.FileSearch" block.
Also the .FileSearch always seems flakey anyway, especially between
versions.
By the way, could you not set up a template with desired formatting and
basic data, instead of running code every time.
e.g. all this stuff
<set in template
Selection.Merge
Range("A3:F3").Select
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.ShrinkToFit = False

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "HEXCEL CORPORATION"
Selection.Font.Bold = True
.................
Range("A7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Test Method:"
Range("A6:A7").Select
</set in template

----------- CUT --------------

I'm not really sure which part is off. The formatting is for the data summary
page. If I set a template I would have to run the macro from the workbook
that has the template, and bring the data into this book?

I guess there is not quick fix for it.

This is what the macro should do

- Find a folder on the cd drive (we have to enter the folder name each time
as it is never the same)
- find all the .cvs files in folder and import them into a workbook (we have
ten .cvs files numbered 1- 10, and we'd want 10 worksheets in one workbook)
- find information on each sheet a place into summary sheet
- creat a chart from the summary sheet

in 2000 it does this but in 2003 it is placing each file into it's own
workbook (10 workbooks, rather than 10 sheets in one workbook). The data is
also being placed in the wrong sections, part of the data from the .cvs file
is on one sheet and the other half is dumped onto the summary sheet.
