You could also try the following technique to get the filename (I prefer
this method, as it eliminates having to check the validity of the
filename):

Dim strFileName As String

strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls),*.xls", _
Title:="Select Document
Version Control Log")

This only gets the file name without actually opening the file. Just
remember that the value of strFileName will be "False" if the user
cancels out of the dialog box.
