Hello,
The top half is code for opening my file. I tried opening multiple which seems to open but not execute the code I want ran for each file. I'm thinking loop but terrible at writing them. The bottom half is code for executing the main code. The number of files to open vary 3-6 which means repeat same code x amount of times.

Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA _
Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long
Sub OpenFile()

Dim Filter As String, Title As String, msg As String
Dim I As Integer, FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Filename As Variant


' File filters
Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls," & _
"Comma Seperated Files (*.csv),*.csv," & _
"All Files (*.*),*.*"

' Default filter to *.*
FilterIndex = 3

' Set Dialog Caption
Title = "Select File(s) to Open"

' Select Start Drive & Path
'**************************************************
'******* Set Default Path Here***********************
'**************************************************
SetCurrentDirectoryA "\\tempedisk\td\Aetrium\VT\250K_VT"
'**************************************************
'**************************************************
'**************************************************

With Application
' Set File Name Array to selected Files (allow multiple)
Filename = .GetOpenFilename(Filter, FilterIndex, Title, , True)
' Reset Start Drive/Path
ChDrive (Left(.DefaultFilePath, 1))
ChDir (.DefaultFilePath)
End With
' Exit on Cancel
If Not IsArray(Filename) Then
MsgBox "No file was selected."
Exit Sub
End If
' Open Files
For I = LBound(Filename) To UBound(Filename)
msg = msg & Filename(i) & vbCrLf
Workbooks.OpenText Filename(i), Origin:=xlWindows, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, _
Space:=False, Other:=False
Next i
MsgBox msg, vbInformation, "Files Opened"


For code to execute after it opens a file:

Well first code seems to be incomplete. Other thing is what exactly you are tying to accomplish ? Lets say for example there are 3 files that would be opened. Then what exactly you want to do with those file ?

any ways based on what I got. there are two changes you need (hightlighted)

Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA _ 
Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long 

Sub OpenFile() 

Dim Filter As String, Title As String, msg As String

      ChDrive (Left(.DefaultFilePath, 1)) 
      ChDir (.DefaultFilePath) 
   End With 
   ' Exit on Cancel 
   If Not IsArray(Filename) Then 
      MsgBox "No file was selected."

   End If 
   ' Open Files 
   For I = LBound(Filename) To UBound(Filename)

Hello,

What I would like to do is:
1) Open multiples .csv files (all have different names)
2) Execute sub routine called 'Regular' to each file opened
3) Close each file once routine 'Regular' completed

Currently, the code runs 1 file at a time with no problem. I just don't know how to select multiple files and write a loop to execute code on the number of files opened which can be 3 or more which will vary. If it runs fine on 1 file at a time how do I get it to do it on multiple files?

I tried dropping in code 'Call Regular' where you suggested in Openfile and I can open multiple files but does not execute the sub routinue Regular. Sorry for confusion.

Thanks,
weenie

From what I see the macro should have worked. There might be some thing in those routines that are called but your code here does not have them.

Try this. All it does is open file, call the macro "regular" display what is active file, closes it and display what has become the active file.

My expectation is that first msgbox will show you the name of the file that got opened, and 2nd msg box will show you the name of the file that was active when macro "OpenFile" started

It it works as per my expectation, then you know that your macro is called multiple times as you wanted and some thing else is the issue


Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA _
Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long

Sub OpenFile()

Dim Filter As String, Title As String, msg As String
Dim I As Integer, FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Filename As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
    
   ' File filters
   Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls," & _
      "Comma Seperated Files (*.csv),*.csv," & _
      "All Files (*.*),*.*"
    
   ' Default filter to *.*
   FilterIndex = 3
    
   ' Set Dialog Caption
   Title = "Select File(s) to Open"
    
   ' Select Start Drive & Path
   '**************************************************
   '******* Set Default Path Here***********************
   '**************************************************
   SetCurrentDirectoryA "\\tempedisk\td\Aetrium\VT\250K_VT"
   '**************************************************
   '**************************************************
   '**************************************************
    
   With Application
      ' Set File Name Array to selected Files (allow multiple)
      Filename = .GetOpenFilename(Filter, FilterIndex, Title, , True)
      ' Reset Start Drive/Path
      ChDrive (Left(.DefaultFilePath, 1))
      ChDir (.DefaultFilePath)
   End With
   ' Exit on Cancel
   If Not IsArray(Filename) Then
      MsgBox "No file was selected."
      Exit Sub
   End If
   ' Open Files
   For I = LBound(Filename) To UBound(Filename)
      msg = msg & Filename(i) & vbCrLf
     Set wb = Workbooks.OpenText(Filename(i), Origin:=xlWindows, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
      ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, _
      Space:=False, Other:=False)
       
      'file has been opened, you can run the macro there
      Call Regular
 
   Next i
   MsgBox msg, vbInformation, "Files Opened"
    
 End Sub
  
'For code to execute after it opens a file:
Sub Regular()
   MsgBox "Active file is " + ActiveWorkbook.Name
   ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
   MsgBox "Active file is " + ActiveWorkbook.Name
End Sub

Looks like it opens the files I selected and and runs the 1st file unsing regular sub routine. No where do I have a loop written to run the regular file x amount of times so I would expect it not to run other than 1X. Is there a way to attach an excel file with code that you can look at?You stated above my code is incomplete but I did not post others since it would be very long.
When I execute the macro it calls:
1) Sub routine 'Regular'
2) Executes 'Call OpnFile'
3) runs code to copy/paste/close the file it opened
4) 'Call ReData' which replaces/removes text information and deletes a row or 2
5) 'Call MDA or MDB or MDC or MDD depending what was entered on sheet 1 before macro started.
6) Runs remaining code

I only posted what I thought was the problem area the Openfile. With your help it now opens all files I want and runs sub routine called 'Regular' Only on 1 file not the rest. Again, I have no loop wrtiiten to execute numerous times (or off the number files opened) so sorry for any confusion.Please let me know how I can post an excel file so it can be easy for you to look at all codes I have calliong to within main sub routine 'Regular'
Thanks

You have it wrong. I suggested you changes. Based on those changes you should be running
Sub OpenFile()
