Hi All

Thanks for any help on this, I am fairly new and still learning.

I am trying to develop a macro that will open, copy, (and if possible close) from about 50 closed workbooks. I am currently using this code:

Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Me\Path\AA.csv", True, True)
ThisWorkbook.Activate

But this only opens the file AA.csv, I have a variable "Live" which cycles through the names of the closed workbooks. However, everytime I try to change the Set wb to something that has a variable in it, I seem to fail.

For clarity - I want to be able to change "aa.csv" (or any longer part of the string if necessary) within the macro.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cheers

        '
        live = Dir()
    Loop
End Sub
