But that might let the user think he could select, say, a PowerPoint
presentation.

Try this:

MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"Excel Files
(*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xla;*.xlam),*.xls;*.xlsx;*. xlsm;*.xla;*.xlam", , _
"Select Excel file or add-in for XL Start-up")

Hello,

The follwoing works ok:

'================================================= ===============
MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls,"
& _
"Excel Files (*.xlsx),*.xlsx," & _
"Excel Files (*.xlsm),*.xlsm," & _
"Add-in Files (*.xla),*.xla", , "Select
Excel file or add-in for XL Start-up")
'================================================= ===============

but I'd like it so that all the file types are displayed as soon as
the Open File window appears - with the above the user has to select
the file type using the bottom combobox to make those files visible.

Any help appreciated
Jason.
