It sounds like "pathlist" is a list of paths to directories in an
array as he mentioned.

Anyway, you only enter the loop IF the file name retrieved is a .zip.
If not, the loop is not entered. Or you can simply do this:



Dim FileName as String

(PathName would contain the directory path without a closing "\")

FileName = Dir$(PathName & "\*.zip")

Do While Len(FileName)
'Whatever you want to do to it
FileName = Dir$
Loop
