Default Prompt for filename in excel macro VBA


kdp145 wrote:
put this after the selection.copy statement

filename = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls), *.xls")
Windows(filename).Activate

this will prompt the user to select an excel file from the Open file
dialog box and activate whichever file the user selects
