In the editor, click on your File/Open menu selection, and enter
in the code box that pops up:

object fname
fname = getOpenFileName(Window1,
            "C:\\Bus\\*.edb",                     -- default path & extension
            {"Euphoria database","*.edb"}) -- file select options

if length(fname) > 0 then -- a file was selected
 -- put your file open code here
else -- no file was selected (cancelled)
 -- do whatever is appropriate
end if
