Choose (open) workbook for actions on user prompt

[erikhs]

Hello,

The headline might not be very descriptive. My question is:
How can i get excel to recognize or let user choose, which open workbook to process with macro, if this workbook has differing name from time to time.
The macro now uses the "open" function, to open a workbook of choice and then perform actions, however i i want a different action performed(all is in user forms), i must close the workbook again. How can i give the user the option to choose an open workbook/window while in a sort of user form? I do not wish for something where the user has to select a cell in the workbook and then run macro, but rather run userform then select.

Thank You!

Create an Userform (UserForm1)
Add a ListBox (ListBox1)
Add a Command Button (CommandButton1) with caption "OK"

Paste the following code in Userform code:

'------------
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox ListBox1.Value
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim wb As Workbook
With ListBox1
For Each wb In Workbooks
If wb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then
.AddItem (wb.Name)
End If
Next wb
.ListIndex = 1
End With
End Sub
'---------------------

Et voilà!
