A couple of questions...

• What version of VB?
• What do you mean exactly by "open"? Do you mean the same as if you selected them in Windows Explorer and hit "Open"?

Have a look at this thread - it explains how to use ShellExecute, which I think can start any type of file.

Hi,
Use loop for opening all files and use this code for opening.
ShellExec("C:\t estfile.doc")
GOODLUCK
