It would be good if you share the error too. Either post as comment or edit your question to post error.

You probably need to use FileDialog.SelectedItems (even if there is only one selected item).

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa432435(v=office.12).aspx[^]

You would need to loop through the selected file get them one by one

VB

'Loop through each file selected and do whatever you want to do with it.
For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
  'varFile - this is your file name
Next
