Finding a Workbook's Location
Hello,
I would like to find a workbooks on the C directory, but searching all files takes too long. Is there a quicker way? Is there a way to ask the user to enter the folder where the file is located (like the browse dialog box)? Thanks. Bill |
Finding a Workbook's Location
You could use a macro that opens the File|Open dialog to get the name of an
existing file. Dim myFileName as Variant myfilename=application.getopenfilename("excel files, *.xls") if myfilename=false then 'user hit cancel 'do something else msgbox myfilename 'do whatever you need with that variable end if === If you're really just looking for a folder name from the user... Jim Rech has a BrowseForFolder routine at: http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm (look for BrowseForFolder) John Walkenbach has one at: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip29.htm If you and all your users are running xl2002+, take a look at VBA's help for: application.filedialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) Bill wrote: Hello, I would like to find a workbooks on the C directory, but searching all files takes too long.
