Copy range from sheet, and loop through files in a directory and do the following, Add rows to specific sheet, and paste values into sheet - vba

Question

I need to copy data from one sheet on my desktop, and paste it to every xlsx file in a specified folder. The problem I am encountering is an endless loop of copy paste / adding rows.
paste_value is the value to be pasted in the specified range in the specified sheet " Exhibit 1d"
Below is the code
Sub loopFile()
Dim Filename, Pathname As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim paste_value As String
paste_value = Workbooks("copy_file.xlsx").Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Range("B59:C64").Copy
Pathname = "C:\Users\GP8535\Desktop\loop_folder\"
Filename = Dir(Pathname & "\*.xls*")
Do While Filename <> ""
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
paste_value = Workbooks("copy_file.xlsx").Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Range("B59:C64").Copy
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Pathname & Filename)
wb.Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Rows("57:63").EntireRow.Insert
wb.Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Range("B59:C63").PasteSpecial
wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
Loop
End Sub

Answer 1

Try this. A few issues
your syntax for defining paste_value was wrong; I think better to define the range (using Set) and do this outside the loop as it doesn't change
key thing to loop through your files is the last line in the loop; your code would have opened the same workbook each time
don't forget to turn alerts and updating back on at the end
Sub loopFile()
Dim Filename, Pathname As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim paste_value As Range
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Pathname = "C:\Users\GP8535\Desktop\loop_folder\"
Filename = Dir(Pathname & "\*.xls*")
Set paste_value = Workbooks("copy_file.xlsx").Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Range("B59:C64")
Do While Filename <> ""
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Pathname & Filename)
wb.Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Rows("57:63").EntireRow.Insert
paste_value.Copy wb.Worksheets("EXHIBIT 1D").Range("B59:C63")
wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
Filename = Dir
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
