This should give you something to start with:
Option Explicit
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim fso, fl, fc, f
Dim PathFldr
Dim msg
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
PathFldr = "C:\temp"
msg = "Selected:"
If (fso.folderexists(PathFldr)) Then
If (Right(PathFldr, 1) <> "\") Then PathFldr = PathFldr & "\"
Set fl = fso.getfolder(PathFldr) 'gets Folder object
Set fc = fl.Files 'Creates Files "Collection"
For Each f In fc 'Loops through each file in the "Collection"
If (UCase(Left(f.Name, 7)) = "EXTRACT") Then
msg = msg & Chr(13) & f.Name
Workbooks.Open Filename:=PathFldr & f.Name
End If
Next
MsgBox msg
End If
End Sub
