What difference does the above code with the following code

Load * ,  FileName() as FileName,RowNo() as RowNumber;

LOAD

    OrderDate,

    Region,

    Rep,

    Item,

    Units,

    [Unit Cost],

    Total

FROM

    Sales_*.xls

The second code is using what is called a 'preceding load', maybe have a look at

I think that's an issue with using the wildcard * in your filename and the preceding load.

The preceding load should work correctly when you use a For Each vFile in FileList(..) .... NEXT vFile instead of the wildcard (there is a sample in the HELP on how to use for each).
