My current code simply adds a 1 to the module's names, just wondering if there's a replace command I could use or some other method, Thanks

Code:
Sub Import_basFiles()    
Dim StrFile As String
    StrFile = Dir("C:\users\steve\desktop\basfiles\")
    Do While Len(StrFile) > 0
        Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents.Import ("C:\users\steve\desktop\basfiles\" & StrFile)


        StrFile = Dir
    Loop
End Sub

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Try...

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Import_basFiles()


    Dim sourcePath As String
    Dim basFileName As String
    Dim basFileNameNoExt As String
    
    sourcePath = "c:\users\steve\desktop\basfiles\"
    If Right(sourcePath, 1) <> "\" Then
        sourcePath = sourcePath & "\"
    End If
    
    basFileName = Dir(sourcePath & "*.bas")
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Do While Len(basFileName) > 0
        With Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents
            basFileNameNoExt = Left(basFileName, InStrRev(basFileName, ".bas", , vbTextCompare) - 1)
            .Remove .Item(basFileNameNoExt)
            .Import sourcePath & basFileName
        End With
        basFileName = Dir
    Loop
    On Error GoTo 0
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!
