Small problem with GetopenFileName
Good morning all!
I want to be able to let the user select multiple files from a GetOpenFileName dialog box, but also filter the file list to Excel files only and trap for the user pressing Escapel. If I use: SAPDataWorkbook = Application.GetOpenFilename() If SAPDataWorkbook = False Then Exit Sub End If Workbooks.Open Filename:=SAPDataWorkbook I can press escape OK AND open a workbook If however I change the first line thus: SAPDataWorkbook = Application.GetOpenFilename( _ filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls", MultiSelect:=True) If SAPDataWorkbook = False Then Exit Sub End If Workbooks.Open Filename:=SAPDataWorkbook to filter to *.xls I can press escape, but get the message "Type mismatch" with If SAPDataWorkbook = False Then highlighted. Can anyone out there help, please? Thanks in advance Pete |

I assume you have
Dim SAPDataWorkbook As String If you read the help you will see "If MultiSelect is True, the return value is an array of the selected file names (even if only one filename is selected). " Hence change it to: Dim SAPDataWorkbook As Variant NickHK "Peter Rooney" wrote in message ... Good morning all!

Hi, Nick,
No, I thought of that - it's declared as Variant already :-( Pete "NickHK" wrote: I assume you have Dim SAPDataWorkbook As String If you read the help you will see "If MultiSelect is True, the return value is an array of the selected file names (even if only one filename is selected).
