Hi
you can link the cells in these spreadsheets to a differetn workbook.
Try the following
- open your file with the 2 unsued tabs
- open the source file
- goto tab 5 in cell A1
- enter the equation sign '=' and select with your mouse the cell A1
from the other file
- hit enter and copy this formula for as many cells as you like
- repeat for tab 6
- close the other file and save your 'main' file

Hi there thanks for the help so far.

That put a link but I need the file to open in that tab so I can work on it
also, to make changes.... I have about 8 excel files
with 3-5 tabs on each sheet and would like to combine them to one file yet
saved as separate files so that others
can just change the single file... is this possible??

Thanks john
