Selecting a file from dialog

[Avi]

Hello,

Most of the exemple show how to launch from VBA a dialog to open a file from a directory.

Is there a dialog that is used to select the file so i can use its path name in the module, without opening the file?

Avi,

The following code will display the File Open dialog and return
the selected file name. It doesn't open the file.

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename()
If FName = False Then
' no file selected
Else
MsgBox "You chose: " & FName
End If

For other methods of selecting just a folder (not a file), see
