I am trying to use the Shell32 Browseforfolder code to browse to a
file. That I can get to work and I can get another version to work to browse to a folder and to be able to se the initial folder but I cannot seem to get both to work setting the initial folder to look at and browsing down to a file. This is the code which allows me to set the folder: 'First you need to set a reference to the "Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation" object 'library. In the VBA Editor, go to the Tools menu, 'choose References, and scroll down to this item and put a check next to it. Private Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS As Long = &H1 Private Const BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN As Long = &H2 Private Const BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS As Long = &H8 Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER As Long = &H1000 Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER As Long = &H2000 Private Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES As Long = &H4000 Private Const MAX_PATH As Long = 260 Function BrowsetoSpecificFolder(Optional Caption As String, _ Optional InitialFolder As String) As String Dim SH As Shell32.Shell Dim F As Shell32.Folder Set SH = New Shell32.Shell Set F = SH.BrowseForFolder(0&, Caption, BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS, _ InitialFolder) If Not F Is Nothing Then BrowsetoSpecificFolder = F.Items.Item.Path End If End Function 'You can the call the BrowseFolder function with the following code: Sub callfolder() Dim FName As String FName = BrowsetoSpecificFolder("Select a folder", "C:\aatest") If FName = "" Then MsgBox "You didn't select a folder" Else MsgBox "You selected: " & FName End If End Sub I have tried adding BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES instead of BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS but I get an automation error can't find file. Can anyone help? Many thanks John |
