The following worksheet event code monitors cell B9. Once you have entered a
value in B9, a window pops up to allow you to select a file and open it:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set t = Target
Set B9 = Range("B9")
If Intersect(t, B9) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
s = Application.GetOpenFilename
Workbooks.Open Filename:=s
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
