Default Loping through files in a folder

Excel 2003
From my notes I have: (PathOnlySource is the full path to the folder holding
the files)
ChDir PathOnlySource
TheFile = Dir(PathOnlySource & "\*.xls")
Do While TheFile < ""
TheFile = Dir
MsgBox TheFile
Loop

I thought that the line:
TheFile = Dir(PathOnlySource & "\*.xls")
would get the first .xls file name in the folder, which it appears to be
doing. And I thought that the line:
TheFile = Dir
Would get subsequent file names which it appears it doesn't do. Where am I
going wrong? Thanks for your help. Otto
