Default Passing arguments into function to bring data array from closed wb

OK, I admit defeat...

I'm trying to allow a user to select a workbook, then bring in an array of
data from a (currently) hard coded sheetname and range.

Here's my code:

Sub GetArrayFromASelectedWorkbook()
Range("Target").ClearContents
sfilename = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls),*.xls", MultiSelect:=False)
If sfilename = False Then 'User DIDN'T select a file
MsgBox ("No file selected.")
Else 'User DID select a file
GetArrayFromAUserSelectedWorkbook GetWorkbookName(sfilename,
"Sheet1", "A1:A10")
End If
End Sub

Function GetArrayFromAUserSelectedWorkbook(sfilename As Variant, _
SheetName, _
CellRange As String)
With ActiveSheet.Range(CellRange)
.FormulaArray = "='" & GetPath(MyFileName) & _
"[" & GetFileName(MyFileName) & "]" & SheetName & "'!" & CellRange
'.Value = .Value 'Convert array formulae to values
End With

End Function

However, when I run it, I'm getting "ByRef Argument Type Mismatch" with
"sfilename" highlighted in the row of the sub where the Function is called.
The variable "sfilename" is declared as public variant at the beginning of
the module.

I've banged my head against a brick wall so much that my employers are suing
me for damage to company property.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance..
