Hi all,

I had requests:
1. open file dialog to select ASCII file
2. import this file into excel sheet, not open another workbook, is
inserted into one worksheet
3. pop-up a message windows to show what file is selected.

So what I code:

Sub GetImportFile()
Dim Filt As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String
Dim FileName As Variant

'Set up list of file filters
Filt = "Product Data File (*.pd*),*.pd"


'Display *.* by default
FilterIndex = 2

'Set the dialog box caption
Title = "Select a Product Data File to Import"

'Get the file name
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, _
FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, _
Title:=Title)

Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, Title:=Title),
Origin:=-535, StartRow:=1 _
, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=True,
Comma:=False, _
Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array
(2, 1), Array( _
3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1),
Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), Array(10 _
, 1), Array(11, 1), Array(12, 1), Array(13, 1)),
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

'Exit if dialog box canceled
If FileName = False Then
MsgBox "No file was selected."
' Exit Sub
'End If

Display full path and name of the file
MsgBox "You selected " & FileName


End Sub

The above code, I got 2 times file dialog, and one time import file,
but this importing is to new workbook,
which is not my target.

Could anybody help?

BTW: what is the difference between GetOpenFilename and
workbooks.opentext?

TIA
