Opens directory
 

I would like a macro that opens the directory D:\VEST\spBackup so that I can
see the files inside.



Any help would be greatly appreciated,

If you simply want to open the folder in Windows Explorer, you can do
something like this:

Public Sub gShowFolder(rsPath As String)
Dim sh As Object

Set sh = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
sh.Explore rsPath

Set sh = Nothing
End Sub

Hi Roger

Maybe you want GetOpenFilename
See the VBA help also

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

SaveDriveDir = CurDir

MyPath = "D:\VEST\spBackup\"
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
