Hi Folks
I have around 35 separate Workbooks that all update from one Master Workbook.
Is it possible to update each of those 35 Workbooks without literally opening each one individually?
Cheers

If you have found solving my problem/s to be an interesting and educational exercise then how about Repping me up?
No idea why I need Rep, other than feeling left out....
It is, to my opinion, not possible to add new data in a closed workbook.
In a VBA code, it is possible not showing opening the workbook.
But you don't add the VBA code so that is difficult to tell.
(p.s. i'm not good enough with VBA to solve your question)
Notice my main language is not English.
I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

Hi oeldere
The Code to do this is actually what I am seeking.

you can use DIR to open every file in a folder

Depending on how the data is structured, you can use ado to insert data to a workbook without opening it
Every Workbook feeds from one Master by =A2 etc into the first sheet
So the rows are just pulled down every so often to cover the data/rows in the Master.
One other Workbook gives a snapshot of certain cells in all the others.
At the moment I have to open each individually for them to update which is tedious.
After reading around I have placed 5 files into a Workplace file
While this opens the five files I still get the prompt to update each file individually.
Is there some Code to auto update all files automatically on opening?
Cheers
bulina2k my Folder name is UPDATEPLANS and is in D: Drive
The file I would drop the Code in is 'DAILY CARDS and BSP Results.xlsm' also in D:
Could you show me how they fit in your Code and also what does 'your code here' mean/need?
Thanks

Further, some files have different extensions eg .xlsm .xlsx which I also need to cover in the Code?
Bumpoh and Bump to get the min amount of letters in

Can you upload "DAILY CARDS and BSP Results.xlsm" ? (Remove sensible/confidential data first)
Hi bulina2k
Unfortunately it is quite a large file.
"D:\DAILY CARDS and BSP Results.xlsm" that is the target it gives for it under Properties.
Closing this thread and will start a new one as my requirement has changed.
