allow user to select folder
XL2002 has a browse dialog. I don't use 2002 myself, so you may need to
play with this, but this is basically it
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Show
MsgBox .SelectedItems(1)
End With
Look up FileDialog in the VBA help
The pre XL2002 way is
Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
(ByVal pidl As Long, _
ByVal pszPath As String) As Long
Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "SHBrowseForFolderA" _
(lpBrowseInfo As BROWSEINFO) As Long
Private Type BROWSEINFO
hOwner As Long
pidlRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As String
lpszTitle As String
ulFlags As Long
lpfn As Long
lParam As Long
iImage As Long
End Type
'-------------------------------------------------------------
Function GetFolder(Optional ByVal Name As String = _
"Select a folder.") As String
'-------------------------------------------------------------
Dim bInfo As BROWSEINFO
Dim path As String
Dim oDialog As Long
bInfo.pidlRoot = 0& 'Root folder = Desktop
bInfo.lpszTitle = Name
bInfo.ulFlags = &H1 'Type of directory to Return
oDialog = SHBrowseForFolder(bInfo) 'display the dialog
'Parse the result
path = Space$(512)
GetFolder = ""
If SHGetPathFromIDList(ByVal oDialog, ByVal path) Then
GetFolder = Left(path, InStr(path, Chr$(0)) - 1)
End If
End Function

.LookIn = "c:\test" 'folder to use
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute() 0 Then
