I have an Excel workbook that consist of 3 sheets of
forms to fill out.
These forms must be updated quarterly. I am going to use
a database query to
pull the info needed into the workbook. The problem is
for the user to
select the correct system and quarter for the query to
update the forms.
The question is can I use VB to open the file directory
browser and use his
selection to drive which database file to query? If so,
what code is used to
accomplish this?

Yes - the Excel File Open dialog box can be activated
through VB:

FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFileName ([File Filter],
[FilterIndex],[Title],[ButtonText],[MultiSelect])

FileToOpen will have the path to the selected file. The
parameters let you choose file extensions to show, etc.
