Excel - VBA Question. Need to access data from all excel files in a directory without opening the files

Question

So I have a \"master\" excel file that I need to populate with data from excel files in a directory. I just need to access each file and copy one line from the second sheet

Answer 1

At the start of your macro add

Application.ScreenUpdating = false

then at the end

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

and you won't see any files open as the macro performs its function.
