The below code gives me a compiling error. "Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" The error seems to occur on the .Filters.Add
The .Add is highlighted in blue if that helps.

How can I center the title text on a userform.

Code:
Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()    
    'myFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select a File.")
    
    Dim fname As String
    Dim fpath As String
    
    fpath = ThisWorkbook.Path
    
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
        .InitialFileName = fpath
        .ButtonName = "Get File Name"
        .Title = "File Selection"
        .Filters.Clear
        .Filters.Add "*.xl", "*.xlsx", "*.xlsm", "*.xlb", "*.xlam", "*.xltx", "*.xltm", "*.xls", "*.xla", "*.xlt", "*.xlm", "*.xlw"
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        
        If .Show = True Then
            fname = .SelectedItems(1)
            Me.TextBox1.Text = fname
        Else
            MsgBox "Operation Canceled"
        End If
    End With
End Sub
Thank You

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
The number of arguments was wrong. Pressing F1 while the cursor is on the word Filters takes you to a help page with an example of Filters.Add.

Code:
.Filters.Add "Excel files", "*.xl;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlb;*.xlam;*.xltx;*.xltm;*.xls;*.xla;*.xlt;*.xlm;*.xlw"

I don't know how you can format the title to be centered on a built-in dialog box. Probably can't be done. Though a work around would be to add a bunch of spaces in front of the text to move it to the right.

Thank you. That worked. I see where I went wrong. I forgot to ask, but to open the file, I would have to create an open button and put
Code:
fname.open
to open the file. Is that correct? Thank you for your help.
