Excel macro range problem

[McDal]

I created a macro to select multiple files that are over 256 fields in length
to 2 worksheets in a book. I'm having trouble offsetting the row by 1.
Another words, I can load the file successfully each time but overwrite it in
row 1...it won't write the next file in row 2, etc....

Can someone help me, I'm a novice at best with code? I managed to modify it
to select multiple files successfully....

Thanks, but the "iv:iv" but the filename in every single row. I only want it
in the last cell of the row it's writing to.

Not sure which definiation of last row you mean


for last cell of worksheet

Worksheets("sheet2").activate
Worksheets("sheet2").cells(rows.count,"iv").Value = strTempFileName


For cell immediattely following the cell of data

Lastrow = Worksheets("sheet2").cells(rows.count,"iv").end(xlup).row
Worksheets("sheet2").activate
Worksheets("sheet2").cells(LasrRow + 1,"iv").Value = strTempFileName
