Here is one simple way


Sub LoopFolders()

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Show

selectFiles .SelectedItems(1)

End With

Set oFSO = Nothing

End Sub


'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub selectFiles(sPath)
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim Folder As Object
Dim Files As Object
Dim file As Object
Dim fldr

Set Folder = oFSO.GetFolder(sPath)

For Each fldr In Folder.Subfolders
selectFiles fldr.Path
Next fldr

For Each file In Folder.Files
If file.Type = "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:=file.Path
End If
Next file

End Sub

I need to allow the user to select a folder so that .xls files meeting a
specific file naming convention can be opened. I know how to create an
array of workbooks based upon that naming convention, but I've not been
successful in allowing the user to select a folder. How should I code
this?

Thanks,
