Default VBA 6.0 GetOpenFilename

I would recommend that you respect the user's settings and restore the
Current Directory after the GetOpenFilename

Dim OldDir As String
Dim FName As Variant
OldDir = CurDir
ChDrive "C:\Test"
ChDir "C:\Test"
FName =Aplication.GetOpenFilename(....)
ChDrive OldDir
ChDir OldDir

Brun,
You can use ChDrive/ChDir before the call to .GetOpenFilename to point to
the desired location.

Hi all


I have a question to Excel VBA.


I am using the GetOpenFilename application to open the "open file"
browser. It automatically starts browsing the last place I have saved
or downloaded a file. I am using the GetOpenFilename in the following
way:


fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Inflow Files (*.flo),
*.flo,All Files (*.*), *.*")


My question is:


How do I specify the path for where I wan't to browse from? Is it
Application.path??? something I have to change before I run the
GetOpenFilename command?


Any help appreciated.
