Open Dialogue Box to a certain folder?????
Does anyone know how to open a dialogue box that will open to a
specific folder of my choosing?? I am able to open the dialogue box but it defaults to the last folder that was used. The code I am using looks like this: 'Filt = "All Files (*.*),*.*" 'Title = "Import Routine" 'FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(Filt, 5, Title, True) Thanks in Advance G-. |

Not tested but I think you need to set the Application.DefaultFilePath which
specifies where Excel goes to find a file when opening. Cheers N "German" wrote in message om... Does anyone know how to open a dialogue box that will open to a specific folder of my choosing??

Open Dialogue Box to a certain folder?????
Might this be of use?
ChDrive "C" ChDir "C:\Something\something else\etc\" vFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename _ (FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls", _ MultiSelect:=True) 'MultiSelect to let user choose 'more than one file If TypeName(vFilename) = "Boolean" Then MsgBox "No file was selected" Exit Sub Else 'do your stuff here. Of course this does not stop the user browsing to anothe folder! Regards. "German" wrote in message om...

Open Dialogue Box to a certain folder?????
That is an awesome idea, but I am not using a structure of
"C:\something\something else\ etc\", I have to use something like "\\somehting\something else\" any ideas on how to do that, the problem is that all users might not have same mapping. Thanks, G-.

Open Dialogue Box to a certain folder?????
Netscape crashed just as I hit the Send button (sorry about any duplicate post):
here's a post from Rob Bovey/Tom Ogilvy: ======== Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA Lib _ "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long Sub ChDirNet(szPath As String) Dim lReturn As Long lReturn = SetCurrentDirectoryA(szPath) If lReturn = 0 Then Err.Raise vbObjectError + 1, "Error setting path." End Sub Example of usage Sub GetFile() On Error GoTo ErrHandler ChDirNet "\\LOGD0FILES\OGILVTW\Docs\Temp" Exit sub ErrHandler: MsgBox "Couldn't set path" End Sub Use like ChDir and ChDrive combined.
