Default Opening a file

Is there a way to automatically run the File Wizard on the imported file with
the spacing I want. (The files that will be imported will always appear the
same).

Thanks

if myfilename = false then
exit sub 'user hit cancel

filenum = freefile()
open myfilename for input as #filenum

Trying to create a macro that prompts the user to open a txt file.

FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")
FileNum = FreeFile()
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum

But in place of having them enter the file name, I want to have them browse
for the file then select it. This would be identical to File - Open, and the
Open Browser window appears.

Thanks
