Hello and HELP!
I'm using the following code to insert the selected filename into a cell.
What I really need is for the user to be able to select multiple files and
to
get those names into some sort of list so the user can select a file from
that group. Is that possible? Remember when giving me a solution that
I'm
not as slick as I could be creating code, so please include explicit
instructions! Thanks.

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files(*.XLS),*.XLS")
If FName < False Then
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell = FName
Else
MsgBox "User cancelled"
End If

do it this way then

Dim i as Long, j as Long
Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"Excel files(*.XLS),*.XLS", Multiselect:=True)
If isarray(FName) Then
j = 0
for i = lbound(Fname) to ubound(FName)
Range("A1").Offset(j,0).Value = fName(i)
Next
Else
MsgBox "User cancelled"
End If

Hi Tom, and thanks for the response. I'm getting a "type mismatch" error
on
"If FName < False Then". Can you help?

Tom,

You forgot to increment j:

j = 0
for i = lbound(Fname) to ubound(FName)
Range("A1").Offset(j,0).Value = fName(i)
j = j + 1
Next
