RE: macros
Hi Lesley, thanks for your query. That is possible, but it depends how random you want it! I would put hyperlinked filepaths in a series of cells in Excel and then use the walkthrough below to pick one at random.

To open it, or pick it from a folder you'll need to pick up some VBA!
Hope this helps,
Anthony
