[mso] Re: Excel 2000 combine workbooks questions

Hi.

>Is there, will there be, a problem because I did it that way?

Not that I can see, unless you have other workbooks which reference
cells in the old workbooks.
 
>Can I safely delete the workbooks that I merged once they are all
merged?  
 
Yes, subject to the caveat above. Or put them in another directory for a
week or two, just to be safe.

>Are they somehow linked to the new "mergedall" workbook?

No, not if you just moved them there. But references to the old sheet in
OTHER workbooks won't move with the sheets to point to mergedall.
 
>Now my one workbook is huge, about 5000 kb.  

And I'm sure you're backing it up carefully!

>Thanks for any guidance, here.

You're welcome.

Subject: [mso] Excel 2000 combine workbooks questions


Hello again,
 
I combined many workbooks to one workbook by opening the "mergedall"
workbook and each one of the ones I wanted merged, one at a time, and
drug (dragged?) the worksheet to the "mergedall" workbook.  Each
workbook that I merged had only one worksheet.  
 
Is there, will there be, a problem because I did it that way?
 
Can I safely delete the workbooks that I merged once they are all
merged?  
 
Are they somehow linked to the new "mergedall" workbook?
 
Now my one workbook is huge, about 5000 kb.  
 
Thanks for any guidance, here.

L Wessels
