VBA 6.0 GetOpenFilename
Hi all
I have a question to Excel VBA. I am using the GetOpenFilename application to open the "open file" browser. It automatically starts browsing the last place I have saved or downloaded a file. I am using the GetOpenFilename in the following way: fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Inflow Files (*.flo), *.flo,All Files (*.*), *.*") My question is: How do I specify the path for where I wan't to browse from? Is it Application.path??? something I have to change before I run the GetOpenFilename command? Any help appreciated. Regards Brun |

Brun,
You can use ChDrive/ChDir before the call to .GetOpenFilename to point to the desired location. NickHK wrote in message oups.com... Hi all I have a question to Excel VBA.

I would recommend that you respect the user's settings and restore the
Current Directory after the GetOpenFilename Dim OldDir As String Dim FName As Variant OldDir = CurDir ChDrive "C:\Test" ChDir "C:\Test" FName =Aplication.GetOpenFilename(....)
