hi
do u use webutil? if yes then try something like this.
when-button-pressed trigger
declare
      f varchar2(100);
begin
     f := webutil_file.file_open_dialog();
     if f is not null then
          :excel.file_name := f;
          end if;
     end;Note:- u have to attach webutil.pll without webutil it will not work.
