I am working with a form with browse buttons to load a file from a
certain directory; I would like for that directory to be the one that
holds the currently open excel/vba form. Currently, I am using curdir
and getting the 'default' storage location set up in Excel
(MyDocuments..).

'=============
Dim SaveDriveDir As String
SaveDriveDir = CurDir()
MsgBox (CurDir)
ChDir (SaveDriveDir)
NewFN = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Please select a file")
'===============


Thanks for any help in this,

Louis
