Default Browse Window

Hello all,

Could anybody help me regarding the following issues.

I am writing a VB macro in XL where I need to select a folder by clicking on
the €śOpen€ť button, created by me. I should be able to browse my computer to
select a folder and retuen back to my xl sheet with the selected folder path.
Then if I press €śExecute€ť, it should execute the DOS command €śdir /s files.
xls€ť to get all the files including its sub folders in to an xml file. Then I
will apply some simple logic to meet my requirements.

Could anybody provide me the VB code for the following activities.

1. VB code to open a new browse window where I can select a folder and this
path is returned back to text box.

2. A way to invoke the command prompt from VB macro to execute the command
€śdir /s files.xls€ť

Thanks
Sri
