Hi Anand:

Thanks for your help.  I had stumbled across the same solution last night,
but then found a new problem:  wdDialogFileOpen can't handle opening multiple
files.

I decided to use the msoFileDialogOpen instead, which caused a third odd
problem.  It kept re-Showing my hidden form as well as the dialog.  I decided
I had to unload the form first so that it wouldn't come back uninvited.

Here's the code.  If you have any suggestions, please do pass them on:

Private Sub btnSelectFiles_Click()
   Dim fd As FileDialog
   Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
   Unload frmBTS_Tables
   With fd
       .AllowMultiSelect = True
       .Filters.Clear
       .Filters.Add "All files", "*.*"
       .Filters.Add "Tables", "*.tbl", 1
   End With
   If fd.Show = -1 Then
       fd.Execute
       btsTableToDoc
   Else
       MsgBox ("BTS Convert Tables will now quit.")
       Exit Sub
   End If
End Sub
