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 |

ChDir - Specify Folder
I took Ron's entry and adjusted to inlude our file path. It highlights
"SetCurrentDirectoryA" and gives me an error reading "Sub or Function not defined".. Here's what I have 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 Sub FindFile() Dim FName As Variant ChDirNet "\\Fl-aejf-fs1\Data\Data\RECOVERY\EXLDATA\Loan Recovery MIS\Placements" FName = Application.GetOpenFilename End Su "StephanieH" wrote: I've tried two variations trying to specify the folder for GetOpenFilename.

This line:
Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA Lib _ "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long shouldn't be changed and has to be kept at the top of your module. It's the API Function that makes it work. Just leave it as-is. StephanieH wrote: I took Ron's entry and adjusted to inlude our file path.
