Hello,
Here i come again with another interesting challenge: to export data from a big number of subfolders , ALMOST each subfolder containing two source excel workbooks, filled with data, and export that data, for every client, in an xml file, for use in another PDF forms. Manually, i change the links in this collector to the next client, and after that, save and export data to xml.
The only problem is there are hundreds of subfolders (clients)
So i began working on this macro, but cannot find yet a way to make the macro search for new link path for the 2 excel files connections in next subfolder . Can you point me to the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Catalin B.
