ExcelBanter - How to get the list of files in a folder

It might be better to have the list and then just use a double click event
to goto the file.

This should list the files

Sub GetFileList()
Dim iCtr As Integer

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "c:\yourfolder"
' .SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = ".xls"
If .Execute 0 Then
For iCtr = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Cells(iCtr, 1).Value = .FoundFiles(iCtr)
Next iCtr
End If
End With
End Sub

Then this should goto the file by a double click on the typed name.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim WantedSheet As String
WantedSheet = Trim(ActiveCell.Value)
If WantedSheet = "" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Sheets(ActiveCell.Value) Is Nothing Then
GetWorkbook ' calls another macro to do that
Else
Sheets(ActiveCell.Value).Select
ActiveSheet.Range("a4").Select
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Sub GetWorkbook()
If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
workbookname = ActiveCell.Value
On Error GoTo OpenWorkbook
Windows("" & workbookname & ".xls").Activate
Exit Sub
OpenWorkbook:
Workbooks.Open(workbookname & ".xls").RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen
Exit Sub
End Sub
