RE: Excel VBA

Anne,
Try the code below.
Note that I've assumed that the Consolidated workbook is empty of data when the import is done. If you want to handle the case where the import is done incrementally, then you'll need to make some modifications regarding worksheet names, and the row number on the Consolidated worksheet.
