Hello,

I want to create a command button in my excel find to find necessary values in an external excel file.

as in many programs, I would like to click on the open file option and select the target file with the windows search interface.

as an example I installed a page of a simple windows program. I guess it is possible to achieve the same thing with VBA.

thank you

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
try this.
Code:
fName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "*")
If fName = "False" Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open fName

hth,
Ross
