Sub OpenMultipleFiles()
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim fileChosen As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim basename As String
Dim fso As Variant
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
basename = fso.getBaseName(ActiveWorkbook.Name)
fd.InitialFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path ' Set Default Location to the Active Workbook Path
fd.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
fd.AllowMultiSelect = True
fileChosen = fd.Show
If fileChosen = -1 Then
'open each of the files chosen
For i = 1 To fd.SelectedItems.Count
Debug.Print (fd.SelectedItems(i))
Dim fileName As String
' do something with the files.
fileName = fso.getFileName(fd.SelectedItems(i))
