Default Open file Dialog box in Macro

Thanks Guys,
That works. Could you tell me how to change the starting
directory in the Open dialog box? I want it to start in a
Network Share directory rather than in the default "My
Documents" folder.

Thanks again,
Joshua Dunn

Hi Joshua,

Help has a great example

fileToOpen = Application _
.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.txt), *.txt")
If fileToOpen < False Then
workbooks.Open filename:= fileToOpen
End If

Ok, I'll do my best to explain what my problem is. I

have
a macro that I run to import a text file, format it,

sort
it and manipulate the workbook in a few other ways. My
problem comes in that the file's name is not always the
same so I don't want to hardcode the filename into it.

I
want instead to have a "Browse" dialog box pop up and

the
user be able to select a file to open for the macro to
use. Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if
there's something I can help clear up for you.
