    Browse to file and place filename in a cell

    Hey people,

    I wrote this code a while back to browse to a directory:

    Can anybody help me with instead of inputting the directory into cell 'C2' it puts the actual filename so for example scenario:

    You browse for test.xls in C\:Desktop and this places "C\:Desktop\test.xls" in cell "c2" at the moment i can only display the path

    And also if there is a way that when when u click to open the browse, if you click cancel it leaves the cell intact, at the moment it always puts a directory and overwrites, cant work it out

    Thanks in advance!

    Right?
    Is your code running too slowly?
    Does your workbook or database have a bunch of duplicate pieces of data?

    It will save both time and effort in the long run!
