Default Loop thru All Files in a Folder

Hi All,

I've been here for this same threath a long time ago, I
just can't seem to remember how to do the following and
some how I've lost my macro.

I have a macro that calls each of the files in a path and
extracts some of the fields in it. The file opened is a
*.doc and the macro does some text to column stuff and so
forth so that I get the values from the report.

The reports name that my macro calls are 1.doc,
2.doc, ..., n.doc but this is not the name with which I
receive the reports, the name is given by the measuring
machine and is composed by part number, date, time etc...

After my post a long time ago, I was able to write a macro
that loops thru all the files in a given folder and
renames them into the usable 1.doc, 2.doc way and now i
don't have it.

Can anyone help me find the right code for this task???

I have 500+ files to rename, just to get 3 little numbers
from each...!!!

Help!
TIA

Juan
