Is there a way to set the €œGetOpenFilename€� command to start in a specific
directory?

NameOfFile = Application _
.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")

Hi

Try this

Sub test()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String

SaveDriveDir = CurDir

MyPath = "C:/Chrysant"
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls),
*.xls")
If FName < False Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FName)
MsgBox "your code"
wb.Close
End If

ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir

End Sub

Ron's method is probably best, but if you want some more pain and suffering
in your life, it looks like the FileDialog method in Office 10 / Office XP
would do this, too :)
