Need help please

Hi. I have about 450 Excel workbooks containing order information. In column A there are inventory numbers and in column H there are the quantities ordered. The number of rows containing the information changes from order to order but never more than 10. Half way through the 450 we started using a new form in which case the inventory stock number is merged into c,d, and e and the quantities are in merged cells o,p. In some cases there is only the information in the first sheet, in other cases, the information goes all the way to the 12th sheet. Maybe more. I need to extract all the inventory numbers and quantities from each workbook and sheets within. Is there a way to create a macro to do this? I am not against moving the old forms into a new folder and keeping the new forms in a seperate folder.

ALso, I have been playing with codes all morning and I don't know very much about VBA. I can record the heck out of a macro but creating one from scratch is greek to me. Please provide basic instructions on that as well. I tried going to the developer tab. Clicking on Visual Basic then clicking insert module. That just inserts a module into Macros I have already recorded. I can't figure out how to get around that.

Thanks so much to the genius that solves this for me. Have a blessed day
