FileDialog grey's out the View box
 

Hello,
I want to select one particular folder, but I need the view box to appear so
that I can sort the folders by modified date, name, etc. The "View" box is
greyed out.
Thanks for you help.

Private Sub GetFolderName()

Dim strSelectedFullFolder As String
Dim strSelectedFolder As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
.Show
strSelectedFullFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
strSelectedFolder = Mid(strSelectedFullFolder, 68,
Len(strSelectedFullFolder))
End With

End Sub

I am not sure it can be done with FileDialog object, but if you want I can
post API code that gives you much more control and that can do it.

A simple way (not involving API) is to do:

Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

and take the folder from the produced file path.
