cell, which automaticlly lists the next 10 files below
it. Also, automaticlly displaying values of 2 different
cells of each file, next to it.

pt5002 3455.56 56.768

Hi Tim,

filename, sheetname question is not clear.
by filename do you mean workbook, if so what sheetname and cell
is to be looked at.

If you do not mean filename at all and those are sheetnames
take a look at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/buildtoc2.htm

what were you intending on entering
-- a value into cell B2 and have the rest generated
-- or enter a something anywhere in column a and have next ten rows generated.
