    Get filename or filepath from Dialog(xlDialogOpen)?

    Hi, I have an older version of Excel, i.e. 2000

    Only way I can use the openfile dialog is the dialog class with xlDialogOpen constant. Anyways, I was wondering how to get the filename or filepath when I open a file using this class?
    I tried to see what it returns, and it returns true or false?
    any help? thanks.

    Nevermind,

    I found the function getOpenFilename() which returns the filepath and name of hte file opened.

    Here is one way to use the dialog, fyi.
    VB Code:
    1. Dim oDlg As Dialog
    2.     Set oDlg = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen)
    3.     With oDlg
    4.         .Show arg1:="FileText", arg2:=False, arg3:=False
    5.     End With
    6.     'file_text, update_links, read_only, format, prot_pwd, write_res_pwd, ignore_rorec,
    7.     'file_origin, custom_delimit, add_logical, editable, file_access, notify_logical, converter
