Default Opening a file

Hi guys, I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with what I think is a
relatively simple procedure.

I am creating a process that requires the user to open a file (I'm not sure
where it will be saved), and then the code will simply copy some data out of
this selected file into the template document.

I currently have:

Public Sub ImportData()

Dim curfolder As String
Dim filename As String

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1:ED1000").Select
Selection.ClearContents

Application.GetOpenFilename
filename = Dir(curfolder)

Workbooks.Open filename
Range("A1:ED1000").Select
Selection.Copy



However, when I reach the select file dialog box and select the necessary
file, the file I want isn't actually selected, but the first file in that
folder.

Can someone help me with this predicament please?

Thanks
