Hi there, I'm a bit of a newbie with macros so was hoping someone might
be able to help me out with this one:

I have a master spreadsheet (master.xls) that has a header row and then
a series or rows containing data in columns A thru G. Each row
corresponds to data taken from a number of other spreadsheets
(order1.xls, order2.xls etc).

Basically I need a macro run in master.xls that will copy data from one
of the order spreadsheets and append it to the rows already there in
master, i.e. find the last row containing data and adding it after
that.

Data in the order.xls workbooks has a fixed format A1:A3 and then a
variable number of rows A5:D5 (A6:D6, A7:D7 etc). So when copied into
Master.xls A5:D5, A6:D6 etc is copied to first empty row in columns D
thru G, and for each of those the same A1:A3 is transposed to columns A
thru C. So it ends up something like this:

A1 A2 A3 A5 B5 C5 D5
A1 A2 A3 A6 B6 C6 D6
A1 A2 A3 A7 B7 C7 D7
etc

I'm okay with opening workbooks, making them active etc. What I need is
the code that will find the first empty row in Master.xls and the code
to copy (a loop I guess) that will move date from order.xls to
master.xls and know when to stop when it reaches the last filled row in
order.xls.

Thanks!
