Visio 2013 - open file dialog

[visio-question]

Hi,

I am trying to open file dialog in Visio 2013 via VBA. I believe this is not available directly in Visio 2013.

Request someone to suggest alternatives to use to get this functionality. VBA code samples would really help.

Appreciate your help ASAP.

Thank you.

You're right. There is no file dialog in Visio.
But the issue has been discussed many times in the forum:

I usually just include the excel reference for whatever I have loaded on the system. Then I just call whatever vba function I need from the excel library. (a little facetiously) Since almost all of the code examples that MS posts for vba are using the excel product.

Thank you all for the answers.
