Hi,

CODE

  Dim appExcel as object, sName, xlWkbk as Object
  Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
  sName = appExcel.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Please select a file")
All that GetOpenFilename does is get a STRING that is the name of a workbook.

So then...

CODE

if sName <> False then
  set xlWkbk = appExcel.Workbooks.Open(sName)
end if

 

Skip,
