Default MultiSelect ListBox

Stephanie

With a MultiSelect listbox, the ListIndex property will return which row has
the focus. It looks like it's just the last row, because that's the row
you're selecting last and the one that has the focus. You need to use the
Selected property like you do in the first loop.

I would suggest that you make your listbox a two-column listbox, with the
second column width = 0 (hidden) and containing the file you want to open.
Then you could

With Me.ListBox1
For i = 0 to .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
Workbooks.Open .Column(1,i)
End If
Next i
End With

I have a ListBox populated thru code as:
Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With ListBox1
.AddItem "AttyAdec"
.AddItem "2004"
.AddItem "Dialer"
.AddItem "Blank"
End With
ListBox1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
With my OK Command as follows:
Private Sub OKButton_Click()


Msg = "You selected" & vbCrLf
For i = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
If ListBox1.Selected(i) Then
Msg = Msg & ListBox1.List(i) & vbCrLf
End If
Next i
MsgBox Msg


If ListBox1.ListIndex = 0 Then

ChDir "C:\Documents and Settings\A092048\Desktop"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\A092048\Desktop\AttyAdec 090304.xls"

End If

If ListBox1.ListIndex = 1 Then

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Documents and
Settings\A092048\Desktop\2004.xls"
End If

If ListBox1.ListIndex = 2 Then

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\A092048\Desktop\Dialer.xls"
End If

Unload UserForm1
End Sub

My ListBox is set to 1 = fmMultiSelectMulti but when I select more than

one
file, only the last file selected will open. Is there something else I

need
to change for it to open more than one file at a time?
