Grab name of folder
 

Excel 2002 with Visual Basic 6.3

The code below allows me to select a desired folder, but I then need to
assign the name of that folder to a varibale. I'm at a loss right now.



Code:
--------------------
Sub GetAFolder()

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\"
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Canceled"
Else
MsgBox .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With

End Sub
--------------------
