n4ken Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm new to ME and this is possibly a very stupid question.... I cannot find a file open dialogue or any means of browsing for a file, selecting it and putting the filename into a variable. I've used a number of other macro programs which all had a file select function. Am I just being dense and missing what is right in front of my eyes? Regards.

thomas Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Variables - Variable set string - Set value from file And there you can select the correct file.

n4ken Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Thomas Thanks for your reply. However that's not quite what I ment. I want to be able to select any file I choose when the macro runs and not have it coded into the macro itself. I want to.... Run Macro. Choose file from any location. Precess file. Save file to any location. I cannot see how to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi n4ken, Try this one: Variable - Variable set string - Set value to file name (prompt) Add a title then if you run the macro you can browsing. I hope I can help you. thomas Hi Thomas Thanks for your reply. However that's not quite what I ment.

n4ken Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi again Thomas... That's great it's what I wanted to. Things are not as clear in ME and I would never have found it by myself. Thanks again for your time and effort. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
