I have Excel 2003 and have written a macro to manipulate some data which I import from an XML file via a customised map.

To refresh the data I have a line in my macro which says:

ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps("MyMap").Import URL:= "C:\Path\filename.xml"

Now this works just fine except that I wish it would pop up an explorer dialogue box asking me exacly which xml file I want to import from which folder (starting from the C:\Path\ location).

I have other macros that import csv or text files and that is what they do, but I can't find the same options with xml.

Can someone tell me how to solve this aggravation, please?

Thanks,
Caspar

Hi

You could try this or similar but with .xml file spec and your annotation etc.

Dim FileName as String
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Timesheets Consolidation (*.xls),*.xls", , "Select Consolidation Sheet to Use")

Excel help for GetOpenFilename gives you all the info on how to use this method.

Is that what you had in mind?
