A simple way would be to use the "List Dir vi" to obtain an array of filenames in your selected directory. These files can then be passed to a List Box and you can select the desired data files from here. The filenames can be passed to an "open and extract data vi".
I have an application that does the same sort of thing if you need any examples.
Hope this helps.

Hi David,

I'm looking for this exact same thing... I am looking for an example that shows how to select one or more files for processing. I'd love to see your example...
Thanks!
