Import an Excel Sheet with File Dialog

[rod4]

hi guys,

i had made a simple import menu for xlsx, xls and accdb files from the current project folder with fixed name. see below the xlsx_data_impor t.

Private Sub xlsx_Data_Import_Click()

On Error Goto ErrorHandler
   
    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "Data", Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\Data_Backup.xlsx", True, "Data!"

    Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox "No such file exists in this directory!"

End Sub

now i would like to add a file dialog, so i can choose which file i actually wanna import. i was searching in internet but there attempts were so complicated and nothing worked for me.

can somebody help with a simple file dialog to import 1 file only?

The following should work nicely for you. Be sure to set a Reference to the Microsoft Office XX.X Object Library.

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
 .Filters.Clear
   .Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xlsx,*.xls"
   .Filters.Add "Access Databases", "*.accdb"
 .FilterIndex = 1      'Excel Files
  
 .AllowMultiSelect = False
 .ButtonName = "Open"
 .InitialFileName = "C:\"
 .Title = "Select a File to Import"
 .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
  
   If .Show Then
     DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "Data", .SelectedItems(1), True, "Data!"
   End If
End With
