I need Code to open DBF file in an excel worksheet
 

Hi All,

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a button called "Open" which is
used to bring up the file open window code as follows: myfilepath =
myapp.GetOpenFilename(",*.dbf", , "Open File")

My questions is; is there a way that I can now add some code here so
that the file i choose opens in Worksheet1. Along the same lines as:
Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")

I cannot seem to get it working any ideas would be welcomed.

Jason

Sub test()
Dim s As String, v As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet
s = "C:\My Folder\My Sub Folder"
ChDrive s
ChDir s
v = Application.GetOpenFilename("(*.dbf), *.dbf")
If v = False Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=v)
Set ws = wb.ActiveSheet
ws.Cells.Copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
wb.Close savechanges:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True

Hi William,

Thanks for the suggestion. It isn't work correctly though. It will open
the .dbf file but it gives a runtime error, and the .dbf file still
opens in its own excel window not into worksheet1. I modified s = "C:\My
Folder\My Sub Folder" to s = "d:\" where the file is stored. Should I be
pulling it of the hard drive instead of a cd rom maybe?

Thanks Again,

Jason

Its always better to work from the hard drive rather then a CD (you can
always copy the file back to the CD later).

At what line of code do you get the run time error - (what is highlighted in
VB).
