Hi,

We're using excel 2000 on xp pro.

In a folder, we have hundreds of workbooks with data in cells A1, A3,
F9, I38, I44 on the first sheet of each workbook.

Using Ron DeBruin's sub Basic_Example_1 copies the data from the first
worksheet in each workbook, as I require, however, I don't know how
to get the data only the data from cells A1, A3, F9, I38, I44?


Thanks,

Dan Dungan


This code shown below sets the range in the the section--

With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set sourceRange = .Range(A1, A3, F9, I38, I44)
End With
