Default Selecting a file for read access


Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there is a simple way to let my users select a
specific file which I will use for read access ? In the rest of the vba
script I will use this path as a parameter to fetch information from
this file. I have found a number of vba scripts for opening files but
they all have so much parameters and I guess I don't need most of them
...

Not sure what mean by read access, but you can play with
Application.GetOpenFileName and its filter argument.
If it's an Excel file, you can then .open it Read-Only.
