I am not sure it can be done with FileDialog object, but if you want I can
post API code that gives you much more control and that can do it.

Hello,
I want to select one particular folder, but I need the view box to appear
so
that I can sort the folders by modified date, name, etc. The "View" box
is
greyed out.
Thanks for you help.

Private Sub GetFolderName()

Dim strSelectedFullFolder As String
Dim strSelectedFolder As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
.Show
strSelectedFullFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
strSelectedFolder = Mid(strSelectedFullFolder, 68,
Len(strSelectedFullFolder))
End With

End Sub
