I have 6 files that i wish to open and run a macro on. I have set up another
file that contains a macro that is intended to runs all six. However it runs
through the macro in the first file and then finishes without starting the
second file.

I'm quite new to macros and obviously missing something here. Help !

hi,
it would have helped if you had posted your code.
I did this once with 12 files.
I created a Master file that contained all of the 12 macros. i created a
13th macro that....
opened file 1 then called the macro that was supose to run in that file.
after running macro1 in file 1, the 13th macro saved and closed file1. it
then open file 2 and called macro2 and so on.

not that much help but maybe it'll give you the general idea.

regards
