Copy paste WkBk/sheet 1 to multiple wkbks/sheets

[wrpalmer]

Good Morning
-I am at the point in my Excel experience of having a workabl
understanding of Excel. Now its on to Macros & then VBA.
-Index & Match works for me as the purpose underlying the followin
macro copy & paste excerpt. However it is verbose and totall
rudimentary and without the ability to be "volatile" I believe the VB
language calls the routine.
-My attempt is 1.) to open all wkbks and matching or correspondin
wksheets in all open wkbks, 2.) copy paste/special/values from lea
wkbk/sheet identified Range("A2:C61"). to "Range("P4:R63").Select" i
3 wksheets in multiple subservient wkbks/sheets without all th
scrolling & junk that exists in the following partial macro scrip
pasted below.
-Perhaps my biggest weakness is not understanding the routine o
language necessary to open all bks and corresponding sheets an
corresponding ranges only once for a cross wkbk/sh copy and paste o
values.
-Thanks to whomever has the wisdom & patience to address this
-wrpalmer

Hi W,

The following is untested but, on copies, try:

'============================>>
Public Sub PriceUpdate()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim myPath As String
Dim arr As Variant
Dim SrcBook As Workbook
Dim srcSheet As Worksheet
Dim destSheet As Worksheet
Dim myVal As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long

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

myPath = "C:\Data\EXCEL\STOCKPROFITS\" & _
"IN USE Actual STOCK GAIN-LOSS FORMS " & _
"BY TaxPayer\"

arr = Array("arp080105.XLS ", "mep080105.XLS", _
"msp080105.XLS", "sep080105.XLS")

Set SrcBook = Workbooks("PRICEUPDATE.xls")

Set srcSheet = SrcBook.Sheets("Sheet1") '<<===== CHANGE

myVal = secsheet.Range("A2:C61").Value

For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(myPath & arr(i))
Set destSheet = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
wb.Range("P4:R63").Value = myVal '<<===== CHANGE
wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
Next i

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

End Sub
