Opening files with macros

I'm trying to write a macro that will prompt the user to open a file and then manipulate the data in that file. So far I've only been able to get the macro to open 1 specific file and manipulate that data. The macro will only work on that one file. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at:

and search for the question "I have an Excel Template file (report.xlt) and text files (1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt etc - 45 of this text files) in the same directory". This is an example of code manipulating mutiple files.
