Hello,

This sample is regarding the Dialog "Open".

You will need to create a file .txt in 'C:\temp' that you will be calling.

1. Paste the steps below into Task Builder
2. When step 2 runs you will need to manually select the .txt file that you will want Automate to open. This file (with location) will populate a variable.
3. The Dialog 'Open' action will open the file.

<AMVARIABLE NAME="varOpen" VALUE="" /> <AMSHOWDIALOG ACTIVITY="open" WINDOWTITLE="Opening File" RESULTVARIABLE="varOpen" DEFAULTFOLDER="C:\temp" /> <AMRUN FILE="%varOpen%" />
