A simple way (not involving API) is to do:

Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

and take the folder from the produced file path.

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
