Hi everybody,
I need to import a csv file and I work fine with this recorded macro:

Range("a1:j220").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"text;f:\maurizio\web\biliardo\script\eccel.cs v",
Destination:=Range("A4"))
.Name = "eccel"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = False
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 1252
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
End With

My problem is how to avoid to specify the full path of the csv file as the
application
is to be used by other users and the path might not be the same.
Yes I know, everyone could match the path with its own machine
but I was wondering if a smarter way to do it exists.
Of course the csv file must be in the same application folder.
thanks

Possibly use the UNC as the file's address?

This will allow the user to select a file from a browser window.

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Text Files (*.csv),
*.csv", _
MultiSelect:=False)
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"text;"& FName, Destination:=Range("A4"))
etc, etc

Great, this is the solution I was looking for.
Thank you
