    Browse for file user input

    Does VBA support any type of "browse for file" interface? I'm thinking something similar to an inputbox, but instead it gives you the standard looking windows explorer window to find a file (think adding an attachment in outlook). The function would return a string.

    This is what I use for that:

    The first fName opens a browser and returns the whole path and filename as a string from the choice you make, the second strips off just the filename itself.
