In the VBE, select Insert > Module. This will insert a new blank module into the VBE.

In the new module, paste the code below.

Sub open_file_demo()
 
' declare variable
Dim pathname
 
' assign a value
pathname = "path\to\file.txt"
 
' now open the file using the open statement
Workbooks.Open pathname
