run macro on all closed workbooks in folder and subfolders

[spence]

I would like to be able to run the following macro on a large group of
workbooks without having to open them individually. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Hi spence

You must open them

You can look at this example that copy a range to each workbook

You can replace the copy code with your code

Ron,

Thanks. I can live with that. Your website is very informative by the way. I
have a third party add-on that compiles ranges from closed workbooks but it's
nice to see how to build some of this stuff myself. Your site is a resource I
think I'll find myself going back to many times. I appreciate it.
