    Smile Browsing to open a file in VBA

    Hi,

    I am very, VERY new to VBA so apologies if this is general knowledge.

    I am writing a macro that takes a dump of data in a text file, converts it to columns in excel and copies it to an Access Database.

    My code for opening the text file is simply

    However, what i would like is for the user to be able to browse to find the text file and if it isn't too much trouble, for a warning to be presented if they try to choose a file that isn't a txt file.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    J
