What version of excel are you using.

I use xl2003 and I can select multiple files from that dialog.

(I don't recall if this behavior changed through different versions, though.)

In Excel 2000 when I select INSERT-PICTURE-FROM FILE and I navigate to the
folder containing my pictures I cannot select more than 1 picture at a time.
I can't use shift or ctrl to make additional selections. If I novigate to
the folder using Explorer I can select using shift, ctrl or drag to create a
box and it allows me to select multiple pictures.

Does anyone know of a setting in Excel that would allow multiple files to be
selected?

Thank you.
