pemartins is on a distinguished road

Thank you very much once again.

Ok I went through some tutorials of vba to find out what it is and by this time for me it's something between chinese and korean... But no worries, I speak and write in four languages so I'll eventually get there! Or at least I hope so...

So until now I was able to get the developer tab on the ribbon, turned on design mode, created a button, pasted the code in your post into the button's code and closed it. Then I turned off design mode and clicked the button, but nothing happened. Nothing at all.

I tried making a few changes like inserting in a cell the full path to a file and inserting that cell in the code, but still nothing happens as I click the button...
Would it be possible for you to do it for me in the example sheet inside the package I posted here so I can see how it is done, and then reup only the Excel file for me?
I also uploaded here only the Excel file.

If it's possible it would be easier, but if not don't worry, I'll keep on trying.

Thank you very much for all your help and time.
