Hardly seems justification for spending that much to me :-))

Thanks, Bob, I forgot to mention that I use XL2000, but I will consider to
upgrade to 2002 or 2003, because the 2002 solution is so much simpler!

Regards,
Stefi

Stefi,

Here is one way. XL2002 has a browse dialog. I don't use 2002 myself, so
you
may need to play with this, but this is basically it

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Show

MsgBox .SelectedItems(1)

End With

Look up FileDialog in the VBA help

The pre XL2002 way is below. Just append the filename to the returned
folder.

Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
(ByVal pidl As Long, _
ByVal pszPath As String) As Long

Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "SHBrowseForFolderA" _
(lpBrowseInfo As BROWSEINFO) As Long

Private Type BROWSEINFO
hOwner As Long
pidlRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As String
lpszTitle As String
ulFlags As Long
lpfn As Long
lParam As Long
iImage As Long
End Type

'-------------------------------------------------------------
Function GetFolder(Optional ByVal Name As String = _
"Select a folder.") As String
'-------------------------------------------------------------
Dim bInfo As BROWSEINFO
Dim path As String
Dim oDialog As Long

bInfo.pidlRoot = 0& 'Root folder = Desktop

bInfo.lpszTitle = Name

bInfo.ulFlags = &H1 'Type of directory to Return
oDialog = SHBrowseForFolder(bInfo) 'display the dialog

'Parse the result
path = Space$(512)

GetFolder = ""
If SHGetPathFromIDList(ByVal oDialog, ByVal path) Then
GetFolder = Left(path, InStr(path, Chr$(0)) - 1)
End If

End Function

Hi All,

I'd like to save a workbook created from a template with a
macro-generated
filename, not allowing the user to change the filename, but allowing
to
select a path for the workbook. How can I do that?

TIA,
Stefi
