check for presence of text file

[glen.e.mettler]

using 2003. I have a template MPP that I use to open an MPX file,
import tab delimited text via a map and then save as an MPP.

Problem. - I need to check for the presence of the text file. I can't
seem to find the right command - psuedo code:

open mpp template
check for text file (preferably a dialog box for user selection)
if found
import with predefined import map
else
alert user
endif

myfile = FileOpen()
produces a dialog that defaults to mpp files
myfile = FileOpen("*.txt")
produces an error

How can I get a dialog that shows the text files?
