Why not use the following? If you call it with strTitle = "Open" it looks exactly the same as the FileOpen dialog then
strPath = BrowseForFolder("Open")
If Not strPath = "" then
Set oDoc = Documents.Open(strpath)
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Function BrowseForFile(Optional strTitle As String, Optional bExcel As Boolean) As String
'Graham Mayor
'strTitle is the title of the dialog box
'Set bExcel value to True to filter the dialog to show Excel files
'The default is to show Word files
Dim fDialog As FileDialog
On Error GoTo err_Handler
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fDialog
.Title = strTitle
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
If bExcel Then
.Filters.Add "Excel workbooks", "*.xls,*.xlsx,*.xlsm"
Else
.Filters.Add "Word documents", "*.doc,*.docx,*.docm"
End If
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo err_Handler:
BrowseForFile = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)
End With
lbl_Exit:
Exit Function
err_Handler:
BrowseForFile = vbNullString
Resume lbl_Exit
End Function
