Automatic replace of VBE code for multiple files
 

Automatic replace of VBE code for multiple files


I have few excel files with "C:\Documents and Settings\" couple of time in
the VBE code and in the sheet itself.

Is it possible to loop via al the files (they are all saved in the same
folder) and automatically replace


"C:\Documents and Settings\" with "C:\Dan\" both in the code and on the sheets


Many thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Try this. You will need to change the path to where your workbooks are stored.

Sub LoopThroughDirectory()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Change this to your directory
MyPath = "C:\"
ActiveFile = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls")
Do While ActiveFile < ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=MyPath & ActiveFile
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Cells.Replace What:="C:\Documents and Settings\", Replacement:="C:\Dan\", _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False,
SearchFormat:= _
False, ReplaceFormat:=False
Next
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
ActiveFile = Dir()
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Dan,

I missed the bit about changing the code. I don't know how to do that so
this will only change the worksheet text.
