Default Workbooks...I'll try this again...

Hello.

I am looking for an MVP to repsond to this question - no offense.

Here's the deal...

* I have 4 workbooks
* All workbooks are formatted exactly the same, that is, they all contain
the same number and name of worksheets and the same formulas.
* All of the workbooks are currently seperate files and are not linked to
any other files (I'm not interested in linking or consolidating)
* I want to be able to open all of the workbooks, make a change to a cell
in one of the workbooks, and have that change reflect in all of the remaining
workbooks without making the change to each workbook seperately (OK, I'm
lazy...), just like updating multiple worksheets within one workbook.

So, for example, I create four workbooks, named Book1, Book2, Book3, and
Book4. I open all of the workbooks. In Book1, cell A1, I enter the forumla
=1+1, Enter. I want to know how to make this sinlge formula entry reflect in
Book2, Book3, and Book4 without having to manually either copy and paste or
enter the formula in each workbook seperately (again, I'm lazy, and I want
the expensive Excel product to do this work for me...).

I'm just not convinced that this can't be done, until I hear it form a MVP.
I'mnot really interested in a macro or VBA/VB code fix, just want to know if
there is a facility within the Excel product that can accomplish this task.
If an MVP tells me that it can be done, then I'll reat easy, but not until
then.

Thnak you.
