Default Get File location

Hi Jeff

You can use GetOpenFilename for this

Sub test()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String

SaveDriveDir = CurDir

MyPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If FName < False Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FName)
MsgBox "your code"
wb.Close
End If

ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir

End Sub

Hi,

I want to run a macro and then be able to choose files on my computer, then
save the chosen file location as a variable. Is there anyway to do this?

Sub Macro()
Prompt: Choose filename
Variable = Filename
End sub

Thanks for your help!
