Shouldn't be too hard to do - you make an array of filenames, with maybe two columns (one for just filename stems, the other for full paths), and use that as .rowsource of the combo. The user selects one, you retrieve the fullpath from combo.list(combo.listindex,2) (or something like that) and open it.
