Thanks for replying,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same as (or v. similar to)
doing:

Shell "c:\winNT\explorer /n,/e, c:\ajay"

Alternatively, try:

Sub aa()
Set xx = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
xx.Exec "EXPLORER.EXE c:\ajay"
Set xx = Nothing
End Sub

What programs do support automation?
Is it only those that have VBA built into them?

or are there other ways to interact with them?

Cheers

Dave,

I would have thought that the window explorer does not support
automation,
so CreateObject is not an option.

Hi
I'm using VBA

At the moment to open windows explorer I'm using:

Shell "c:\winNT\explorer /n,/e,"

Is there a way to use CreateObject?

Would that be a better way or is Shell as good as it gets?

Thanks
