Saving file using Explorer Style box
 

Hi People

Please can someone please tell me how I can include the facility to
open a file or save a file using an explorer based save as dialog box.

I can't seem to add an example image as there appears to be something
wrong with this forum. But what I'm talking about is a similar thing to
what you get when you select 'filesave as' or 'open...' from word,
excel, etc

Thanks

Nick

in excel vba help, see help on

Application.GetSaveAsFileName
and
Application.GetOpenFileName

these return the selection made by the user as a string (or array if
multiselect is set to true) which you can then act on to actually open or
save the file.
