Hi, i just want to import an xls file, but thru an macro, and after i import
the file, i will add some codes myself. I need to hit a button linked to an
macro and the macro to open an browse window. I will select the file i need,
hit ok and the excel to import in active sheet, that file. After this, the
macro will format the content, but this is another problem i will deal with
later. I only need the macro to import a file by browsing after it.

Can this be done?
Thanks!

Chip's code shows you how to get the name of the file from the user. It doesn't
do the actual import.

You'll have to add that portion yourself -- or explain what you're doing in
greater detail.

Try some code like the following:

Sub AAA()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim Filter As String
' Excel 2003 workbooks
Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls"
' Excel 2007 workbooks workbooks
Filter = "Excel Files (*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlsb),*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlsb"
' Excel 2003 and 2007
Filter = "Excel Files
(*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlsb),*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;* .xlsb"

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:=Filter)
If FName = False Then
Debug.Print "cancel"
Else
Debug.Print "selected: " & FName
End If
End Sub
