    Re: Get VBA to allow user to Browse for a file to open

    This code will only allow you to choose .txt files, but I put a bit of code there anyway to show you what you could do if you allow multiple file ext.

    Sub dave()
    
     
        Path = Application.GetOpenFilename("txt Files (*.txt), *.txt", , "Select Text File")
        If Path = "False" Then
            GoTo ExitSub:
        End If
         If Right(Path, 4) <> ".txt" Then
           MsgBox "Please select text file."
            GoTo ExitSub
         End If
        
        Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path
    ExitSub:
    End Sub

    Be fore warned, I regularly post drunk. So don't take offence (too much) to what I say.
    I am the real 'Napster'
    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...
