Using Mac Excel 2011 btw which is why you see a ":" instead of a "/".

I'm trying to take the data from a batch of files in a subfolder called "Old" which is located in the directory below my template file. Copy and paste the data from those files into my active workbook which is a new template. Then save that file in another subfolder called new, currently just trying to save the file as "Test".

Noting happens when I run my code and neither value seems to populate, not exactly sure why :/

Any help would be much appreciated.

Rich (BB code):
Sub NewTemplate_Conversion()
   Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
   Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
   Dim Filename As String
   Dim mybook As Workbook
   Dim CalcMode As Long
   Dim sh As Worksheet
   Dim ErrorYes As Boolean


   'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
   MyPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & ":Old:"


   'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
   FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath)
   If FilesInPath = "" Then
       MsgBox "No files found"
       Exit Sub
   End If


   'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
   Fnum = 0
   Do While FilesInPath <> ""
       Fnum = Fnum + 1
       ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
       MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
       FilesInPath = Dir()
   Loop


   With Application
       CalcMode = .Calculation
       .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
       .ScreenUpdating = False
       .EnableEvents = False
   End With


   'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles)
   If Fnum > 0 Then
       For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
           Set mybook = Nothing
           On Error Resume Next
           Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum))


           If Not mybook Is Nothing Then


               With Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Project")
                       .Range("A1").Value = mybook.Worksheets("1 Estimator v1.25 thru 12-06new").Range("B3").Value
                       .Range("A2").Value = "success"
                   
                       Application.Calculate
                       Filename = "Test"
                       Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & ":New:" & Filename, FileFormat:=53
                 End With
                       
                       mybook.Close savechanges:=False
             
           End If


       Next Fnum
   End If


   With Application
       .ScreenUpdating = True
       .EnableEvents = True
       .Calculation = CalcMode
   End With


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Quick update: The code is skipping over ".XLS" files but seems to open ".XLSM" files. Neither is saving a new file called "Test" in the "New" subfolder though.
