Open file from listbox

Oct 24th, 2007

Hie, i am writing my 1st programme form to automate a frequent task.
Attached is my current form.
1) open a file & sort necessary details which will be saved in a designated folder in C drive.
2) show sorted files from C drive.
3) further select & segregate files into another 2 process: Listbox2 for mount process & Listbox3 for assy process.
4) open the files from listbox2 & 3 to proceed for further sortings.

But i'm stuck at how to open the workbook(s) listed in the listboxes --> step 4.
It seems simple enough but i dunno how to ask the programme to recognize & open the files from other listboxes.

Can anyone help? Thanks =)
