Hi,

Using Excel 2000, I have a weekly task to open 35 CSV files and to merge the
contents which is about 1000 rows in each into a single file. Each file has
a unique name and is in a specific directory.

What I'd like to do is have some code that would allow a dialog box to
appear, select the directory and for all the csv files in that directory to
be merged into one file.

I've searched the web but can't find any code to get me started, any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

Does the order the files are combined in matter? If so (and I would guess it
is so), is there something in the names of the files (such as a sequence
number or date) which can be used to determine the order they are to be
combined in? Also, do you have a preference for the name of the file that
the combined data is saved under?

The files contain dates and as such I can sort once in a single worksheet,
the examples that Ron has on his website will I think solve my problem.
I'll post back once I've had a chance to run Ron's examples.

Thanks to all for the help.
