Hi

Need some help on how to prompt the user for the input file (a CSV
file) & the macro will copy all the data in the input file into
another excel file summary & on worksheet named raw.

The input file is a CSV file with only 1 worksheet. I do not need to
open this file.

The input file is in the same folder as the summary file.

any ideas or suggestions are welcome

Thank you
 
To get the filename from the user, use:
Application.GetOpenFilename

How can you copy the data if you do not intend to open the file ?

You can query the file instead:
Data>Import External Data>New Database Query

You can record a macro of whichever method you choose to get the basis of
the required code.
