I have about 300 workbooks (different users, all in the same network
directory) and now I need to pull data out of the same worksheet for each
user- into one workbook so I can run some statistics on all the data
combined.

For testing purposes, my code is below, but I'm having trouble getting it to
paste (then close) properly.

Info: Win2000, Excel 2003
Each workbook's data sheet is protected, so I need to unprotect it (to copy)
then reprotect it before exiting
Each workbook has an onopen even that links it to a third workbook to upload
the most current source data for some worksheets in the workbook
Each workbook's before_close event includes code that saves the workbook as
part of the close (no warnings or pop-ups)

Once I get this working for one workbook, it should be easy to modify the
code to loop through each workbook in the target network directory.

Thanks for helping,
Keith
