assume the variable fname holds the fully qualified path as returned by your
common dialog.

Workbooks.Open Filename:=fname

If you want special treatment of the text file, look at
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=fname, . . . additional arguments - see help .
.. .

Sorry, if you want to import it into an existing document, turn on the macro
recorder while you manually do

Data=Get External Data = Import Text file

and import a text file.

Then turn off the macro recorder and replace the hardcoded file name with
the variable fName or whatever variable holds the fully qualified name of
the file.
