I want the user to open multiple Excel files at once (if
possible, all files in a specific directory.

Since my code is in access, I'm using the following method:
Excel.Application.GetOpenFilename("XLS (*.xls),
*.xls", , "Open All Files Here", , True)

I know that since multiple select is true, this code will
return an array with all of the file names. I just don't
know how to assign a reference to this array so that I can
open all of the workbooks.

TIA

Hi Chodu,

Here's an example of one way to make this work.

Sub OpenMultipleFiles()
Dim vaFileNames As Variant
Dim vItem As Variant
vaFileNames = Excel.Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"XLS (*.xls), *.xls", , "Open All Files Here", , True)
' If the result is not an array the user cancelled
' the dialog.
If IsArray(vaFileNames) Then
For Each vItem In vaFileNames
Excel.Application.Workbooks.Open vItem
Next vItem
End If
End Sub
