But that might let the user think he could select, say, a PowerPoint
presentation. Try this: MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename( _ "Excel Files (*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xla;*.xlam),*.xls;*.xlsx;*. xlsm;*.xla;*.xlam", , _ "Select Excel file or add-in for XL Start-up") - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "reklamo" wrote in message ...

I like Jon's reply, but if you want, maybe...
Dim myFileName As Variant myFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(Filefilter:="All Files, *.*") WhytheQ wrote: Hello, The follwoing works ok: '================================================= =============== MyXlPathway = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls," & _ "Excel Files (*.xlsx),*.xlsx," & _ "Excel Files (*.xlsm),*.xlsm," & _ "Add-in Files (*.xla),*.xla", , "Select Excel file or add-in for XL Start-up") '================================================= =============== but I'd like it so that all the file types are displayed as soon as the Open File window appears - with the above the user has to select the file type using the bottom combobox to make those files visible.
