Use the GetOpenFileName method of the Application object.

Sub OpenTxt()

Dim FName As String

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(",*.txt")

If Not FName Then
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=FName, etc...
End If


End Sub

I have this macro that is importing a text file and manipulating the data
afterwards. However, the file name is not the same every time that they run
the macro. The following code is what I have, however, I would like to have
an Open dialog box come up so they can choose the file and then it will
import the file and do everything else. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance. Matt. The first line is where I would like to have an
Open dialog box because it won't always be the same name.

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="D:\JAN2004_MOMHP0000_135608.TXT",
