I've always found this much more consistently reliable...

Function GetDirectory$(Optional OpenAt, Optional Msg$)
Dim SH As Object

If Msg = "" Then Msg = "Please choose a folder"
Set SH = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder( 0, Msg,
&H40 Or &H10, OpenAt)

On Error Resume Next
GetDirectory = SH.Self.Path
On Error GoTo 0
Set SH = Nothing
End Function 'GetDirectory()
