Excel 2003. I currently use "Application.GetOpenFilename" to prompt users to
browse to and select a file. It returns the full file name with path. Is
there a similar method by which I can prompt the user to select (browse to) a
folder (NOT a file) and have that folder's name and full path returned?
Thanks for any help.

Jim Rech has a BrowseForFolder routine at:
http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm
(look for BrowseForFolder)

John Walkenbach has one at:

If you and all your users are running xl2002+, take a look at VBA's help for:
application.filedialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim lngCount As Long

' Open the file dialog
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Show

' Display paths of each file selected
For lngCount = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count
MsgBox .SelectedItems(lngCount)
Next lngCount

End With

End Sub

According to the help on AllowMultiselect, it is ignored for picking folders.

Has your experience been different?
