hi.. I have a problem on opening 2 file ... as below is my code... I want to open 1 file let's say .Dat file and it will trigger the other .Hdr file. the only different is the extension name , 11U06P0434FN.dat and 11U06P0434FN.hdr .... anyone can help me .... please .

CommonDialog1.Filter = ".Dat"
CommonDialog1.InitDir = App.Path & "\BatchFile"
CommonDialog1.FileName = ""
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

txtdata(0).Text = rtndirectory(Trim(CommonDialog1.FileTitle))
If Trim(CommonDialog1.FileName) = "" Then Exit Sub
DatFName = CommonDialog1.FileName

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
txtdata(1).Text = rtndirectory(Trim(CommonDialog1.FileTitle))
HdrFName = CommonDialog1.FileName

End Sub

So if you mean that you don't get the option to open multiple type files, then you need to change your code slightly.

CommonDialog1.Filter = "Dat File (*.Dat)|Hdr File (*.Hdr)"

This will give you option to open both type of files

thnx binoj_daniel..
