Not sure whether "Dir" will work as shown, as it was too much
bother to do the setup to test it.

Borrowed and "bent" this code to display what I needed but.....This
works for just a few files but has a slight delay..... I suspect as
the files build-up it will slow even more. Is there a better way to add
files from a preset folder (with the filename starting with the days of
the week) into a ComboBox?

Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonClick()
Dim myPath As String
Dim lLen As Long, i As Long
Dim DayO As String
Dim Loopy As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

HomeBook = ThisWorkbook.Name
myPath =
Workbooks(HomeBook).Sheets("Configuration").Range( "ReportExportPath").Value
lLen = Len(myPath) + 1
Workbooks(HomeBook).Sheets("Report").ComboBox1.Cle ar
Workbooks(HomeBook).Sheets("Report").ComboBox1.Tex t = "Select a
previous shift to View"

For Loopy = 1 To 7
If Loopy = 1 Then DayO = "Monday"
If Loopy = 2 Then DayO = "Tuesday"
If Loopy = 3 Then DayO = "Wednesday"
If Loopy = 4 Then DayO = "Thursday"
If Loopy = 5 Then DayO = "Friday"
If Loopy = 6 Then DayO = "Saturday"
If Loopy = 7 Then DayO = "Sunday"

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = myPath
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = DayO & "*.xls"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
ComboBox1.AddItem Left(Right(.FoundFiles(i), Len(.FoundFiles(i)) -
lLen), (Len(Right(.FoundFiles(i), Len(.FoundFiles(i)) - lLen)) - 4))
Next i
End If
End With
Next
End Sub
Any help appreciated
