Sub CopySheet()
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() > 0 Then
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = mybook.Name
mybook.Close
Next i
End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
For this sub(TestFile4_values) you must have unprotected worksheets, or unprotect them in the code.
Sub CopySheetValues()
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"

.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() > 0 Then
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
