I have a macro that allows me to select files in a directory. I would like to amend the macro that if I select another file after the first file, the macro will automatically take the user to the last file selected. The reason for this is that I have many files in this directory and the next file to be selected will be very close to where the first file is



Code:
 Sub Open_Workbook()
ChDir ("C:\downloads")
A:
Dim A     As Variant
Dim LR As Long
  



 With Sheets("Data Import")
 LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
      Range("A1:AJ" & LR).ClearContents
     End With

    If msg <> "" Then MsgBox msg

     A = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If A = False Or IsEmpty(A) Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     
    
  
    
   With Workbooks.Open(A)
     msg = msg & vbCr & A
     
        With Sheets(1)
            .Range("a1", .Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data Import").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
        End With
      
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
    End With

   answer = MsgBox("Does another file needs to be selected?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Hello")
If answer = vbYes Then
GoTo A:
End If
 Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub


Your assistance in this regard is most appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Not sure if I correctly understood you, but this is the code which shows the last file selected. Note, however, that this is not a last file selected by user, but last file in list (which is ordered).
Code:
Sub SelectAnother()
    Dim last_file
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = True
        If Not .Show() Then Exit Sub
        last_file = .SelectedItems(.SelectedItems.Count)
    End With
    MsgBox last_file
End Sub
