Snippet from VBA Help:

.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.txt), *.txt")
If fileToOpen < False Then
MsgBox "Open " & fileToOpen
End IfHTH--AP"sam" a écrit dans le message de

Hi,

The following is taken from a macro that I use to save to a pre-determined
location.


Dim Fname, Suggested, Hdr, Fs, Res
Suggested = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "Schedules " & Format(Date, "dd mmm
yy")
Hdr = "Please choose a Destination and a Name for your file, then click
Save."
GetFname:
Fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(Suggested, fileFilter:="Excel File
(*.xls), *.xls)", Title:=Hdr)
.. . . . . .

'Suggested' is the path that appears as 'default'.. It can be whatever you
want.

Hi,

I have to collect the data from a path whether the path should be given
in inputbox and i have to process few datas

thank You,
Sam

Then why not just use an inputbox ? There is plenty of info in Help on
this.

sam,
It seems I'm not the only one confused by what you want.
If you want the user to select a file, then open that file, use
Application.GetOpenname.
(You could use an input box, but why, when you have better alternative.)

If the user has no choice, then why display anything ?
