Default Change directory

Unfortunately, I am using excel 97, so that method doesn't work.

But thanks for your help!

Hi Jeff,

Try this method:

Sub test()
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If .Show = 0 Then
y = ""
Else
y = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With
End Sub

Regards,

Hi,

I was using the ChDir = "C:\Temp" to change the directory
Is there anyway to specify the directory, and then save the path as a
string. I was trying.

myFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls")
y = Dir(myFileName, vbDirectory)

but y was just set to the filename, I wanted the path like "C:\Temp"

Thanks for your help!
