Default ChDir - Specify Folder

I've tried two variations trying to specify the folder for GetOpenFilename.
The first defaults to the directory last used, the second gives me an error
message of "Invalid procedure call or argument". I can't use ChDrive "I"
because the letter is different for each of my users. Any suggestions?

Sub OpenPlacements()

ChDir "\\Fl-aejf-fs1\Data\Data\RECOVERY\EXLDATA\Loan Recovery MIS\Placements"

Filename = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls)", , _
"Please choose a Placement file to open", True)

End Sub

Sub Openplacements2()

Dim FileToOpen As Variant
Dim MyPath As String
Dim Wb As Workbook

MyPath = "\\Fl-aejf-fs1\Data\Data\EXLDATA\Loan Recovery MIS\Placements"
ChDrive "\\Fl-aejf-fs1\Data\Data"
ChDir MyPath

FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , _
"Please choose a Placement file to open", , True)

If FileToOpen < False Then
Set Wb = Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen)
Else
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub
