GetOpenFilename - Problem
Hi
I have a problem with the Application.GetOpenFilename-function. This function requires the parameter FileFilter. The length of my FileFilter is morer than 255 characters, but the maximum length of this text is limited to 255 chars. Any ideas for solving this? Maybe a workaround? Many thanks in advance. Tom |

GetOpenFilename - Problem

My FileFilter contains 300 characters or nine different filetypes. How to enter this? Tom "Harald Staff" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Hi Tom How many filetypes could be reasonable to offer ? (Imo you're not underestimating your users sufficiently. Users are always to be considered stupid :-) Anyway, a good workaround is "All files *.*" at the end of the suggestions. You're not happy with this, ok, I know already ... -- Best wishes Harald Excel MVP Followup to newsgroup only please. "Tom" wrote in message ...

GetOpenFilename - Problem
I know that I can shorten the text, but this not an elegant solution.

Application.GetOpenFilename FileFilter:="Text,*.txt,CSV,*.csv,Book,*.xls,Add-in,*.xla,Word,*.doc,Acrobat ,*.pdf,ZIP,*.zip,Web,*.htm,VB,*.bas,Icon,*.ico,EXE ,*.exe " shows 11 different types, just shorten your descriptions up a little bit!
