Accessing closed files

[Anonymous]

I want to write a visual basic routine to renumber the figure numbers on AutoCAD drawings. the problem is some of the drawing sets have as many as 400 figures. I would like to access the file database on any number of files. manipulate the data and update the files without opening each one. Any information on accessing data in a closed file will help.
