Unbound Text box Value to strPathFile variant in Access using Visual basic.

Sorry for the late reply.
I was able to correct it by adding a text box and hiding it. Then I was able to pulled in the data I needed into the module code. 

Private Sub txtFileName_AfterUpdate()
Dim diag As Office.FileDialog
Dim Item As Variant
Dim File As Variant


If diag.Show Then
File = Item

End If

End Sub

Thanks
Mike

you try this one, copy (replace your code on the Module):

Public Sub Import_File(ByVal Filename As String, ByVal tablename As String)
 Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean, blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnReadOnly As Boolean
 Dim lngCount As Long
 Dim objExcel As Object, objWorkbook As Object
 Dim colWorksheets As Collection
 Dim Item As Variant
 Dim strPassword As String
 Dim strPathFile As Variant

 ' Establish an EXCEL application object

 On Error Resume Next
 Set objExcel = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
 If Err.Number <> 0 Then
       Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
       blnEXCEL = True
 End If
 Err.Clear
 On Error GoTo 0
 
 ' Change this next line to True if the first row in EXCEL worksheet
 ' has field names
 blnHasFieldNames = True

 ' Replace C:\Filename.xls with the actual path and filename
 strPathFile = Filename
    

 ' Replace passwordtext with the real password;
 ' if there is no password, replace it with vbNullString constant
 ' (e.g., strPassword = vbNullString )
 strPassword = vbNullString

 blnReadOnly = True ' open EXCEL file in read-only mode

 ' Open the EXCEL file and read the worksheet names into a collection
 Set colWorksheets = New Collection

 Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strPathFile, , blnReadOnly, , _
       strPassword)

 For lngCount = 1 To objWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
       colWorksheets.Add objWorkbook.Worksheets(lngCount).Name
 Next lngCount

 ' Close the EXCEL file without saving the file, and clean up the EXCEL objects
 objWorkbook.Close False
 Set objWorkbook = Nothing
 If blnEXCEL = True Then
    objExcel.Quit
    Set objExcel = Nothing
End If
    

 ' Import the data from each worksheet into a separate table

 For lngCount = colWorksheets.Count To 1 Step -1
       'DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
       '      "tbl" & colWorksheets(lngCount), strPathFile, blnHasFieldNames, _
       '      colWorksheets(lngCount) & "$"
       DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
             tablename & "_" & colWorksheets(lngCount), strPathFile, blnHasFieldNames, _
             colWorksheets(lngCount) & "$"
 Next lngCount

    
 ' Delete the collection
 Set colWorksheets = Nothing
 

 ' Uncomment out the next code step if you want to delete the
 ' EXCEL file after it's been imported
 ' Kill strPathFile

     If diag.Show Then
         For Each Item In diag.SelectedItems
            Me.txtFileName = Item
