Default Macro opens files as it tries to access them !!!

Hi,

I have created a macro in an Excel file which uses the data from several
other Excel files and sheets. It gets the information from these other files
and puts them in the new file. The problem is that, the other files need to
be open at the time when the macro is running and trying to access them! If
they are closed, it gives an error as RUN TIME ERROR 9: SUBSCRIPT OUT OF
RANGE.
I want the macro to run smoothly, accessing the data in the other files
without giving any errors and without even opening them. Because opening them
will slow down the system and I will see a lot of window switching in front
of my eyes!!
Is there a command which I can add at the beginning of the macro to disable
the opening of the files, at the same time enabling access to their data? Or
is there another way of solving this problem.
Please help, as it is very urgent.

Thanks in advance.
Berj
