Sorry that should have been VBA. That's Visual Basic for Applications. It's 
a bit of code that will execute a set of instructions. Open file, do what 
you want save the file, open the next,etc.

Unfortunately my XL macro writing skills aren't up to the task.

Perhaps somebody else in the group can help with that.
