Default Opening multiple .xls files with a macro

Hi all,

I have a little problem : I would like to create a macro which opens
all .xls files in a specified folder. The number and the name of these
files may vary, so the macro should open "*.xls".

Is it possible to do that ?
Thanks a lot
Phil

It is possible, but you'll have to get the exact file-path for each
..xls-file. Take a look at the 3rd posting on the following webpage:

7Clist

It features a good example of retrieving the list of all the .csv-files in
a user-specified folder.

Once you have all the filenames and path of the folder, you could use

Workbooks.Open

in a for-next loop to open all the .xls-files.
