Hi, My requirement is to select more than one file in a folder. I am able to reach folder and select files one by one but unable to do it for more than one. Please help me how can I use CTRL + { Mouse click events} at one go, Thanks You, Richa Singh

Hi Richa - I suspect you may be using the wrong approach. Rather than automate the Windows Explorer GUI, it is much easier to access files using the Utility - File Management business object. This object has an action called Get Files which will retrieve a list of file in a given folder. You can also specify the file types you are looking for - ""*.*"" for all. ""*.txt"" for text files, ""*.xls,*.xlsx,*.csv"" for excel files. After identifying the files you need you can then use the same object to move, delete etc. If however you are using Surface Automation techniques to automate Windows, then I'd recommend contacting your Mentor - this forum isn't the best place to explain the required technique.
