Is the 200 workbooks the ONLY files in the folder C:\EBACKUP ?
If so, you can place this macro in a "standard" module of your master workbook:
Sub CopyData()
Dim fso, Fldr, fl, fc, f
Dim Sht
Sht = "Option Letter"
Fldr = "C:\EBACKUP\"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fl = fso.getfolder(Fldr)
Set fc = fl.Files
For Each f In fc
Workbooks.Open f.Path
Sheets(Sht).Unprotect
Workbooks(f.Name).Sheets(Sht).Range("B131").Value =
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sht).Range("B131").Value
Workbooks(f.Name).Sheets(Sht).Range("B202").Value =
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sht).Range("B202").Value
Workbooks(f.Name).Sheets(Sht).Range("B319").Value =
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sht).Range("B319").Value
Workbooks(f.Name).Sheets(Sht).Range("B424").Value =
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sht).Range("B424").Value
Sheets(Sht).Protect
Workbooks(f.Name).Close savechanges:=True
Next f
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "Finished"
End Sub
If you need to skip specific files, then we're have to modify it somewhat.

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Need help to create VBA to copy 4 cells from one
spreadsheet to over 200 spreadsheats in same folder
I have a master spreadsheet with 5 tabs. On my master sheet (called Master) -
on the tab called 'Option Letter' I need to copy cells B131, B202, B319, B424
to
the same
tab (same name on each sheet 'Option Letter') on over 200 spreadsheets. I will
need to unprotect the Option Letter tab (no password), paste in the info from
my
Master sheet Option letter tab (master sheet is called master),
then protect (no password) and save the spreadsheet with the same name. Each
spreadsheet is in the same folder called C:\EBACKUP. Each spreadsheet has a
different name.
I will only need to run this process once to update all spreadsheets with the
new info for these 4 cells. I tried a number of different VBA to loop
through
each spreadsheet but keep getting a number of error.
Any help is appreciated.
thx
