Open file dialog box

[Jesper, Denmark]

Hi there,

I'm terrible new to vba - and I've received a VBA program from a friend that query the user for a filename. He uses the InputBox method, but I would like file browsing functionality. In excel I've found Application.GetOpenFileName but I cant make it function with word vba. The file to open is a text file. I'm using Word 2000. Is there a OpenFileDialog of some kind available for word 2000 vba?

best regards Jesper.

Hi Jesper

Take a look at the second section in this article. It provides a code sample
for exactly what you want to do.
