Hello. Been a long time since I've played with VBA. About 7 years going by my last post. I'm looking to make a vba program (it's what I have available) that will use a form and listbox to display a list of files in a folder. From there, I am going to try and filter the files by multiple text box entries. In other words, files that have "0-100" in the name, and then filter those if they have the word "truck" in them, and filter those...on so on. Probably 3-4 searches.

What I'd like to be able to do is select multiple files and open them. As if you shift selected numerous JPG files in windows explorer and hit enter to open them all in an image viewer.

Not looking for anyone to write this all for me, but some points in the directions of the commands and such I'll need would get me going. Thanks! I "think" I can handle most of it, just the multi-select and open might be a challenge.
