Default need macro from button to open selectable file

i have a program that will export data to excel (text only). i am trying to
make a file which contains only a button that launches a macro that begins by
allowing the user to select the file to which they exported the data, then
the macro will change the formatting of the selected file.

i have the macro saved in my personal macro workbook that does the
formatting, and i can create the button on a new page, but i do not know how
to get from pressing the button to opening a user selected file and then
running the formatting.

thanks in advance. dillon
