opening other workbooks at the same time
How do I add another drive to search for when loading the workbooks
listed below. Problem is when I use these files on my pen drive at home / work and other PCs the pen might be recognised as a different drive letter on each one. I only need it look in say "f" and "g" and that will do the job. Many thanks John EXAMPLE Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments cheryl.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sandra.xls") ' Change as required Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Liv.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sally.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\0.5 yearly payment planner.xls") |

I'll let you fill in the filenames, but this will check if a file exists in
F drive. If it exists it will open it. If not will open it from G. There is no error checking so if you forget to plug the drive in or it has another drive letter it won't work. Sub test() If Len(Dir("f:\test.xlsx")) 0 Then Workbooks.Open ("f:\test.xls") Else Workbooks.Open ("g:\test.xls") End If End Sub Regards Steve "Johnnyboy5" wrote in message ...

You only need to check if one of the files is on the F drive and it will
open them all. Otherwise it will open them all from the G drive.

OK sorry missed that bit, so the macro you have already starts when you open
a file. That macro should be in the ThisWorkbook section of your main workbook. just replace that with Privat Sub Workbook_Open() If Len(Dir("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments cheryl.xls")) 0 Then Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments cheryl.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sandra.xls") ' Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Liv.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sally.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\0.5 yearly paymentplanner.xls") Else Workbooks.Open ("g\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments cheryl.xls") Workbooks.Open ("g\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sandra.xls") ' Workbooks.Open ("g\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Liv.xls") Workbooks.Open ("g\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sally.xls") Workbooks.Open ("g\Direct Payments DOT\0.5 yearly paymentplanner.xls") End If End Sub Regards Steve "Johnnyboy5" wrote in message ...

opening other workbooks at the same time
Hi John,
I hope it works For you, It just seems easier that way, I use my pen drive all over and it is always a different letter. This way the drive letter is unimportant.

Hi John, Having looked through your posts I think it might be easier to try something new. Open windows "notepad" and copy and paste the lines below. Don't include the dotted lines. '---------- start \Direct Payments DOT\"1 payments cheryl.xls" start \Direct Payments DOT\"1 payments Sandra.xls" start \Direct Payments DOT\"1 payments Liv.xls" start \Direct Payments DOT\"1 payments Sally.xls" start \Direct Payments DOT\"0.5 yearly payment planner.xls" exit '---------- Then click on filesave as Give it the name "Start.bat" And save it to your pen drive. It may ask you if you are sure you want to change the file type but it is ok Now double click the file Start.bat on your pen drive, it doesn't matter if the drive letter is A or Z it will start all your files Regards Steve "Johnnyboy5" wrote in message ...
