Hi Bob,
Thank you for helping, but i dont really understand where to place your codes,
could you be more specific. I have placed all the declarations in a module,
but it doesnt seem to work. You mentioned "the end is some code", i presume
that would be the FUNCTION, but how do i link that to the newly created
button on the tool bar?
Thank you
Ray

AT the end is some code that will browse and reset the folder, and use this

Dim oCtl As Object
With Application.CommandBars("Standard")
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
oCtl.Caption = "SelectFolder"
oCtl.Style = msoButtonCaption
oCtl.OnAction = "GetFolder"
End With
It isn't an address toolbar initially, bvut will open up like such.

Hi,
I wonderr if anyone can tell me if i am able to insert into an excel
spreadsheet an address bar drop down list (like in windows explorer) to
view
and select the necessary drives, and make this particular cekk work like a
pointer to changing the default path of where my macro searches for a
specific file.
Thanks
