Thunderfoot,
Something along the lines of
Sub TryNow()
Dim myBk As Workbook
Set myBk = Workbooks.Open(Application.GetOpenFilename _
(, , "Select the file"))
Range("Database_Line").Copy _
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlU p)(2)
myBk.Close False
End Sub

...
I have partly set-up an EXCEL Database which will have a macro to Import
data from files with _*different_names*_.
These files have all been set-up with the same layouts and contain 5
worksheets ... 4 require various inputs by the 'End Users' and 1 has
been set-up so that it has 1 row of information, which is populated by
the Inputs from the other 4 worksheets i.e. by Cell Referencing. This
row of data has been given a 'Named Range' ("Database_Line") in
preparation for the Import into the Database (called "CR Database").
My problem is that the 'End Users' will be giving all sorts of
different names to the files to be Imported from.
What I want to happen within an Import Macro, which will operate from a
'Button' in "CR Database", is that a Dialogue Box will open so that the
Database Operator can Browse/Navigate to the required file, Select it,
then the macro will continue to Import the one 'Named Range'
("Database_Line") of information into "CR Database".
*I have most coding sorted, but I just can't work-out how to get a
Dialogue Box to open, for Browsing/Navigation, and then for the macro
to continue operating once the required file has been selected.
Help!!!!!* 
.
Most of my Coding is done by using the 'Record Macro' option within
EXCEL, but I can edit/add some coding that 'Record Macro' won't do, so
I do have some limits in understanding coding ...... but, for an
"oldy", I'm learning ;).
Help is desperately needed on this, so if you want any further details
let me know. I'm using EXCEL 2000.
