Hi, I have code (that I got plenty of help with from here) that loops through
and opens chosen excel files and copies the contents of each one to my
basebook, one after the other , starting each successive paste on the next
blank line after the previous paste.

But later on, looking at the basebook, if I see an error in data, I would
like to know which file that line of data came from.

The data in each source file is formatted the same, taking up several
columns. Is there a way to insert the filename of the source book into the
cell in column AA (as text, not as a formula) for every row (or at least the
first row) that is copied from each book?

Thank you!
