Excel 2003 with Visual Basic 6.3
The portion of the macro below adds sheets, if necessary, to a new workbook, enables the user to select the appropriate files, then names the sheets accordingly.
Let's say, for example, that the names of the files are the following:
a.xml
b.xml
c.xml
When I get to the part of the macro that allows the files to be chosen from the File Open Dialog box, I use the CONTROL key to select each file, one at a time. I choose the files in the order, a.xml, b.xml and c.xml.
My question is why does the name of the first sheet turn out to be the last file that I've chosen, that is, c.xml.
The order of the sheets is c.xml, a.xml, b.xml.
In other words, no matter how many files I choose to process, the last file chosen is the first one processed.
I want them processed in the order I selected them, a,b,c, etc.
