Data from .xlsx files in folder

Hi, I just started exploring VBA, Macro, and etc. There is a folder on our server that purchase orders are saved in as their number and type. I.E. 25000-S, 25001-J, 25002-R, and so forth. I have tried to get data through query but it brings them in
with binary in column A, 25000-S.xlsx in column B, date created, last accessed, and so forth. What I need is for the contents of that folder to add data from specific cells on each p.o. as they are added. For example if I open either read only p.o. template, save it as 25004-M to Vendor A, and close it then I would want the p.o. number in G4 to go to the row following 25003 in column A, M same row column B, and Vendor A same row column E. What would the process be for getting the workbook that I manually enter these in to automatically update itself as new purchase orders were saved in the folder? Thanks for your time and any help you can offer.
