    <p>i have a code that will compare headers between two worksheets in different workbooks and copy paste data in the main workbook.</p> <pre><code> 'lastCol = Worksheets("Dashboard").Cells(3, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column lastCol = 15 lastrow = Worksheets("Dashboard").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Set cmpRng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(3, lastCol)) a = cmpRng i = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open("Z:\RMG\RMG Data Master\Global_HEADCOUNT.xls") Worksheets("GLOBAL_HEADCOUNT").Select Mastcol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column j = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Set mastRng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, Mastcol)) b = mastRng For k = 1 To lastCol For n = 1 To Mastcol If UCase(a(3, k)) = UCase(b(1, n)) Then Windows("Global_HEADCOUNT").Activate Worksheets("GLOBAL_HEADCOUNT").Range(Cells(2, n), Cells(j, n)).Copy Windows("Dashboard.xlsm").Activate Worksheets("Dashboard").Select Cells(i + 1, k).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False Exit For End If Next Next Call Wbk.Close(False) </code></pre> <p><strong>Now the problem</strong> in this is that every time the file name changes the user has to go in the code and change it, which may lead to problems, so i want to avoid that providing them an alternative to select the files using a dialog box </p> <p><strong>what i know:</strong></p> <p>i have a little knowledge of how to achieve this, </p> <pre><code>'The folder containing the files to be recap'd Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) fd.InitialFileName = "G:\Work\" '&lt;----- Change this to where the files are stored. fd.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList 'allow multiple file selection fd.AllowMultiSelect = False fd.Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xls*" filechosen = fd.Show 'Create a workbook for the recap report Set Master = ThisWorkbook If filechosen = -1 Then </code></pre> <p>but i use the above code for something else and i am having difficulty integrating my code with it... all i am asking is for a little guidance to do it as the result i am trying to achieve is a little different :) ty in advance</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
