Kiza,

What do you mean by open a folder? You can easily use the GetOpenFileName
method to navigate through folders and select a file from within a nominated
folder, if this is what you really want. It doesn't open the file, just
returns a full file and path name which you can then pass to the Open method
(see Help).

Hi,

I need some help with opening a folder by using a macro located within
Excel.

To open a file, it is straight forward as you use the following vb
code:

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\Book1.xls", UpdateLinks _
:=3

However, is it possible to open a folder, say "My Documents" and
secondly, how does one write this in VB code?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance.

Kiza
