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 -- Programmer on Budget |

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. RBS "Budget Programmer" wrote in message ...

A simple way (not involving API) is to do:
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) and take the folder from the produced file path. RBS "Budget Programmer" wrote in message ...
