That is not the way GetOpenFilename works. GetOpenFilename launches a dialog
box asking the user to select which files should be opened.

Do you know anyway when using the Application.GetOpenFilename function to use
a specific filename that is a defined string?
Example: SName is BP-Sarasota.xls
Tried fname=Application.GetOpenFilename(SName) but no joy.
Any ideas?

Here's the general idea:

Sub OpenUserSelectedFiles()
Dim i As Integer
Dim filearray As Variant

filearray = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
Title:="Select the files to process", MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(filearray) Then
For i = LBound(filearray) To UBound(filearray)
Workbooks.Open filearray(i)
'Call your macro here
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next i
Else:
MsgBox "You clicked cancel"
End If
End Sub
