Hi hsahoo84
try the following code. It will open all xlsx files and save it as xls.
I keep the original (xlsx) files in the folder (so you have some kind of backup).
Hope it will help.
Best regards

Sub open_save()
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show = False Then Exit Sub
sPath = .SelectedItems(1) & ""
End With
sname = Dir(sPath & "*.xlsx")
Do While Len(sname) > 1
Set bk = Workbooks.Open(sPath & sname)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
sPath & Left(sname, Len(sname) - 4) & "xls", FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
sname = Dir
Loop
MsgBox ("Finished")
End Sub
