Just set you filepath and it will does for you.

Open "C:\Test.log" For Input As #1
    'Do what ever you like here.
Close #1

Sure you can... just do it like below.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim MyFile As String
MyFile = InputBox ("Please Enter The FileName.","Select File","") 
If MyFile <> "" then OpenFile(MyFile)
End Sub

Private Sub OpenFile (lpFileName As String)
Open lpFileName For Input As #1
    'Do what ever you like here.
Close #1
End sub
