Hi all,

I am trying to have Excel pull out into one or more cells the name an
extension of ALL the workbooks open

I have found two ways but none is completely satisfactory so far:

- builda user form: shows the names but I cant find a way to paste the
into cells

-used the following formula, which only shows the last used workboo
within excel and not whatelse is open

=MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename"))+1
SEARCH("]",CELL("filename"))-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename"))-1)

Has anyone come across something like that before?

Many thanks

This should get you started:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim WBCount As Long
For WBCount = 1 To Workbooks.Count
Range("A1").Offset(WBCount, 0).Value = Workbooks(WBCount).Name
Next
End Sub

Supposing you want to paste the names of workbooks that are open into column
A, then try this:

Sub List_workbooks()
r = 1 'r represents row number
For i = 1 to Workbooks.Count
Cells(r, 1).Value = Workbook(i).Name
r = r + 1
Next i
End Sub

Cheers,
AP
