    With Application.FileSearch
        .NewSearch
        .LookIn = "C:\Data"
        .SearchSubFolders = False
        .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
        If .Execute() > 0 Then
            Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
            rnum = 1
            For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
                Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
                Set sourceRange = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("a1:c5")
