I have an application that is semi-automated in that to kick it off I use the
GetOpenFileName method to allow the user (me) to select 51 files for processing.
There are always 51 files, always with the extension ".txt", and always arranged
in descending order by date of creation. Right now I open the dialog box, which
has the .txt filter active, arrange in descending order by date, highlight, hold
down the shift key & count down the 51 files as I hit the down arrow key. I was
wondering if there is some way to automate that part of it using the "dir"
function. The procedure is always the same. I don't really have to open the
dialog box, because the files to be processed always reside in the same place.
Thank You,
