Opening File Browser
I do not want to open a file, I want to open a folder so
that a user may select a .pdf file or a word doc or
whatever. The content will vary from subject to subject I
just want to open a browser window at the desired path. A
dialog box will close as soon as you select a file, I want
a browser so it can stay open.
I do apologize for the confusion.
Thank you for your answer I do apreciate it.

I think the usual way of doing this is to change to the
desired drive and
folder and then use GetOpenFilename:
Sub a()
Dim FName As Variant
ChDrive "D"
ChDir "\download"
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files
(*.xls),*.xls")
If FName < False Then Workbooks.Open FName
End Sub
You'd have to take the path info and put it into the
first two lines above.
