In the files you want to share the data, you could open them and put in a
formula

in one cell
='C:\Myfolder\[exemple1.xls]Sheet1'!A2

and in another cell another formula

='C:\Myfolder\[exemple1.xls]Sheet1'!A3

Do this in each of the workbooks.

If you don't want a formula, then you would have to both the source workbook
and the destination workbook open at the same time (which you can do in code)

so in the source workbook you would have code like

Sub UpdateValues()

Dim rng1 as Range, bk as Workbook
Dim i as Long
set rng1 = Thisworkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("A2")
for i = 2 to 5
set bk = workbooks.open("C:\myfolder\exemple" & i & ".xls")
bk.worksheets(1).Range("A2") = rng1.Value
bk.Worksheets(1).Range("A3") = rng1.offset(1,0).Value
bk.Close SaveChanges:=True
Next

End Sub

Thank you very much for your help. But i would need an "open" window so
that i can select the files that i want to update. I would also need
this window to open at a specified location. Thank you again!

use
application.GetOpenFileName

with the multiselect property set to true.

then loop through the returned array with the code I provided.

You can use Chdrive and Chdir to specify the location where GetOpenFileName
would open.
