OPENIN "" : filename?
« Thread started on: May 14th, 2015, 10:25am »
Hi - this is most likely a very simple question, for which i apologise in advance, but i've checked the Help documents and haven't found the answer.
i'm using OPENIN "" in order to have a dialogue box to ask the user which file is required - but is the selected filename stored anywhere? and if not, can it be?
many thanks

Thank you Richard - i forgot about the Wiki. This has given me what i need. i take on board what you're saying about the crudity of this method, but for what i'm working on at the moment i just need something quick and dirty - nothing elegant
