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.

macro-import another xls file
 

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?

What do you mean by "import"? The code I posted will display the file
open dialog to prompt you to select the file. Once that is complete,
you need to open the file:

Dim WB As Workbook
Set WB = Application.Workbooks.Open(Fname)

where FName is the file name selected in the Open dialog. Beyond that
you need to explain just you mean by "want to import an xls".

Opening a file does not "import" it into anything.

What portion of that opened file do you need imported to an active workbook?

That's what you need to describe.

Hi, i will tell you what i tried, step by step. I'm not good at explaining,
so if i tell you what steps i've made you will understand better.

the browse window i selected an excel file that has been imported. This is
the code:

End With
End Sub


The problem is that this macro will allways open only the file named "excel".
What i need is that after i run this code, to be able to choose what file i
want.

I guess that some lines from this code must be changed. Perhaps the lines
containing the file source.

Can this code be made to let me choose everytime what file to import?
Basically to do exactly like i did in the first place when i recorded the
macro.

Can this be done?
Thanks!
