Need to display ANY file type...
 

Hello...

I am trying to use some code by Chip Pearson to import text files. It
works great, except the particular files that I must browse for have NO
filename extension; therefore, they do not appear in the list when
browsing for documents.

The current code is as follows (and one would think that it would find
anything):

(filefilter:="Text Files(*.txt),*.txt,All Files (*.*),*.*")

Does anyone know how I can modify this to find files with NO extension?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jessi

Try

Dim FName As Variant
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="All files
(*.*),*.*")
If FName = False Then
MsgBox "you clicked cancel"
Else
MsgBox "You selected: " & FName
End If
