Need to make a scrip to open and save excel documents

Zone: VB Script

I am currently in need of a script that will open an excel file from a specified document, then push enter to update the spreadsheet, and then save and close the sheet. There are quite a few spreadsheets so I only used 9 or 10 for this example. I believe there are 91 actually. I put together some pseudo code to make it easier to visualize what I am needing. If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate it. I have no vb experience and only use PHP and SQL so I was not sure of what format is used. Here is the pseudo code:(this should show everything I need)

    **dept was used because these files are in another folder**
    open path/folder/dept/file
