I have this macro that a friend of mine wrote on a windows machine, and
I can't quite figure out the code changes needed for OS X. For someone

I can get a "open files" dialogue box to pop up, but I can't figure out
how to make sure that multiselect is enabled. I need to be able to run
this macro on 11 files at once. Thanks so much for your time in
reading this post already!

I don't have a Mac to test this on but it works in Windows, I made a few
changes.
The Help file doesn't indicate that any of this is not Mac compliant. The
only thing that may error is the use of the "*" in "Your Files,*.xls", as
this is an MS-DOS based wildcard.
Don't know what it is on a Mac, but you can try to change it to something
compatible if it proves a problem.
As for the Multiselect, it should be enabled. On a PC, SHIFT+<mouse click
selects all files between the first and last items clicked, whilst
CONTROL+<mouse click adds each item one at a time.
This is the same as a normal list box in Windows, so I would imagine it is
the same on a Mac; whatever you "normally" do to multi select items in a
list box.

Thanks for taking a look at this. I got a syntax error when I tested it
as you wrote it though, from the first line:
Code:
--------------------
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
--------------------
Regarding the getopenfilename command, the help file says: On the Macintosh, this string is a list of comma-separated file type
codes (for example, "TEXT,XLA5,XLS4"). Spaces are significant and
shouldn't be inserted before or after the comma separators unless
they're part of the file type code. If omitted, this argument defaults
to all file types.


The thing is, if I run the macro as it was, but I change the
getopenfilename line to
Code:
--------------------
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
--------------------
then I recieve an open files dialogue box, but I cannot use shift+click
to select more than one file, like I normally would do. So I need to
figure out how to do "multiselect=True" and the help file only says a
little about this: .GetOpenFilename(FileFilter, FilterIndex, Title, ButtonText,
MultiSelect)

MultiSelect Optional Variant. True to allow multiple file names to be
selected. False to allow only one file name to be selected. The default
value is False
Remarks
This method returns the selected file name or the name entered by the
user. The returned name may include a path specification. If
MultiSelect is True, the return value is an array of the selected file
names (even if only one filename is selected). Returns False if the
user cancels the dialog box.
This method may change the current drive or folder.
Maybe the setup for this action is different on a mac or something b/c I
don't understand why the "true" already in the getopenfilename code
didn't work originally. The "Your Files, *.xls", is understandable,
like you say b/c it's MSDOS based, but I dont understand the rest...

Not having a Mac to test anything, all I can say is it should work.
At a push you you could loop the .getopenfilename get a name each time.
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Do Until FileSelected=False
'process data
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Loop

I'll let you know tomorrow if find anything.

Not having a Mac to test anything, all I can say is it should work.
At a push you you could loop the .getopenfilename get a name each time.
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Do Until FileSelected=False
'process data
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Loop

I'll let you know tomorrow if find anything.

Thanks for taking a look at this. I got a syntax error when I tested it
as you wrote it though, from the first line:
Code:
--------------------
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
--------------------
Regarding the getopenfilename command, the help file says: On the
Macintosh, this string is a list of comma-separated file type
codes (for example, "TEXT,XLA5,XLS4"). Spaces are significant and
shouldn't be inserted before or after the comma separators unless
they're part of the file type code. If omitted, this argument defaults
to all file types.


The thing is, if I run the macro as it was, but I change the
getopenfilename line to
Code:
--------------------
FileSelected = Application.GetOpenFilename()
--------------------
then I recieve an open files dialogue box, but I cannot use shift+click
to select more than one file, like I normally would do. So I need to
figure out how to do "multiselect=True" and the help file only says a
little about this: .GetOpenFilename(FileFilter, FilterIndex, Title,
ButtonText,
MultiSelect)

MultiSelect Optional Variant. True to allow multiple file names to be
selected. False to allow only one file name to be selected. The default
value is False
Remarks
This method returns the selected file name or the name entered by the
user. The returned name may include a path specification. If
MultiSelect is True, the return value is an array of the selected file
names (even if only one filename is selected). Returns False if the
user cancels the dialog box.
This method may change the current drive or folder.
Maybe the setup for this action is different on a mac or something b/c
I
don't understand why the "true" already in the getopenfilename code
didn't work originally. The "Your Files, *.xls", is understandable,
like you say b/c it's MSDOS based, but I dont understand the rest...

Thanks a lot for you help, it looks like I've got it working!

(All I had to do was put the file type in there, and eliminate some
spaces between things.)

Great work!
