Default Opening a folder

This works pre-2002, but it may be similar to what you already have tried.

test it with

MsgBox GetFolder
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

Nah, unfortunately I'm using Excel 2000. I don't know if there's an
equivalent command?
