GetInfoFromClosedFile problem while looking in Subfolders

Hello all and thank you in advance for any help you can give.

My overall goal is to have a MasterLog worksheet that contains summary data from individual files. There will regularly be subfolders added and individual excel files within those subfolders. The individual files are all formatted the same.

I am using the GetInfoFromClosedFile function that I have found in various places and adapted it some to fit my needs. It works well when the file is in the folder with an individual workbook, but not for subfolders. It still finds the workbooks inthe subfolders, but the cell values are "#REF!". Is there a way to fix this?

I had adapted some code previously to silently open and close the files but it took a long time on these slow computers even when just looking at a couple of individual files.

Thanks again for any help. Here is the code:

Code:
Option Explicit
Dim wbList() As String
Dim wbCount As Long

Sub ReadDataFromAllWorkbooksInFolder()
    Dim FolderName As String
    Dim cValue As Variant, bValue As Variant, aValue As Variant
    Dim dValue As Variant, eValue As Variant, fValue As Variant
    Dim i As Long, r As Long
    Dim sheet As String
    
    FolderName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Individual Files\"
    ProcessFiles FolderName, "*.xl*"
    sheet = "Sheet1"
    If wbCount = 0 Then Exit Sub
    r = 3
    For i = 1 To UBound(wbList)
        
        r = r + 1
        cValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "c5")
        bValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "e14")
        aValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "h14")
        dValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "g5")
        eValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "i13")
        fValue = GetInfoFromClosedFile(wbList(i), sheet, "g10")
        Cells(r, 1).Value = cValue
        Cells(r, 2).Value = bValue
        Cells(r, 3).Value = aValue
        Cells(r, 4).Value = dValue
        Cells(r, 6).Value = eValue
        Cells(r, 5).Value = fValue
        Cells(r, 7).Value = wbList(i)
     Next i
End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
