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. puiuluipui wrote: Hi, i have some problems.

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? Thanks! "Dave Peterson" a scris: Chip's code shows you how to get the name of the file from the user.

macro-import another xls file
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".

macro-import another xls file
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.
