Want to modify this VBA code snippet
 

This code snippet works very well in combining multiple workbooks in a
folder.
I wanted to request assitance in modifyin the snippet.

In my case every month I will have 24 directories and each directory will
have 3 workbooks in it -one with 2 worksheets, another with 2 worksheets and
one with 1 worksheet.
I want to combine the three workbooks in each Direcotry automatically in
each of the 24 direcotires and name the workbook with the name of the
directory.


The code snippet below basically does the combining but only with the user
interactive opeinig up a new workbook and then selecting the workbooks to
merge and it does not create a new workbook with the new name

I would really appreciate it if someone can assist me with modifying the
code for this

I don't know why I didn't receive any notice on April 1st when my original
code didn't work. Here is the code that I fully tested.

You siad the line

newbk.SaveAs Filename:=sf & "\" & _
sf.Name & ".xls"

failed.


1) Make Sure you change the ROOT in the code below.
2) the code is writing the New file to the same directory where the 3 files
are located. If the folder is write protected you coould get an error
3) The New file Name already exists. I added a msgbox to help isolate the
problem.

Sub Combinebooks()

Root = "c:\Temp"


Set fso = CreateObject _
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set folder = _
fso.GetFolder(Root)

For Each sf In folder.subfolders
First = True
FName = Dir(sf & "\*.xls")
Do While FName < ""
Set bk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=sf & "\" & FName)
For Each sht In bk.Sheets
If First = True Then
sht.Copy
Set newbk = ActiveWorkbook
First = False
Else
With newbk
sht.Copy _
after:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count)
End With
End If
Next sht
bk.Close savechanges:=False
FName = Dir()
Loop
NewFName = sf & "\" & sf.Name & ".xls"
MsgBox ("Creating File : " & NewFName)
newbk.SaveAs Filename:=NewFName
newbk.Close
Next sf

End Sub
