You need a FileDialog box on your Form.

Here is a link to Microsoft's page on the FileDialog object there is an example on how to use it at the bottom.

Code the open button like this:

Dim filepath As String
Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog(OFD.Filename)
OFD.ShowDialog()
OFD.Title = "Open a File"
Filepath = OFD.Filename
Readfile()
Public class readfile()
