Many thanks to the three of you for all producing different but workable
solutions.

Mike - I was amazed too that it happened!

Thanks all.

I want to produce a listing of all the workbooks in a folder what have the
file extension .xls.

When I use Dir(*.xls), I also get all the .xlsm and .xlsb files, which is
not what I want.

Is there a way around this issue?
