[AccessD] Sum a column in Excel files in a specific folder

Hi,
Jim & Jim thanks for the suggestion and for code. It'll be good start to 
achieve my goal: not to open each file manually and insert some code, but to 
have code that will  sum every column E in every .xls file in a specific 
folder!
Many thanks again!
Ervin
