API: File picker dialog

[DWhiteley]

A real basic question, sorry.

In my VBA macro I want to open the file dialog to choose a file.

How do I do it in the FC API?

Thanks in advance.

OK found it:

GetFilePath()

Excellent timing on this!  I've recently been (finally) starting to learn FC's API. Selfishly, your question was a great opportunity to further my own learning!

I believe FindFile is what you are looking for. The following code should simply open the dialog:

Dim chooseFile As Boolean
chooseFile = Application.FindFile()

Hopefully, that's helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions.
