    I want it to be as user friendly as possible. There will be multiple Access databases that i want users to be able to connect to. I want to use Application.FileDialog to pick the file to connect the table to.

    Have a look on the 'External Data' tab in Access. You'll find an option to import or link an Excel Workbook/worksheet. Record a macro to get basic code.
