Is there a way to open/saveas files, in _VBA_ without specifying the name of the file in the code?

I mean, let the user browse the directories and choose whatever file he wants. The way open would work if you went to FILE|OPEN?

Thanks.

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Whooops... Sorry!!

I did do a search to find if my question was answered, but didnt notice that thread!

Thanks,
John

Is there a way to specify the path that automatically comes up when you do a "GetOpenFileName"?

I've tried application.defaultpath, but that doesnt work.

Use syntax;

ChDir "C:"

To change to the dir before calling getopen..
