Default API for a user to select a folder?

What if the user just needs to open a file in the selected folder which will
then run in its usual programme independantly of Excel. All the solutions I
have seen give a way of selecting the file path. How do I get the file to
open in the correct programme, i.e. .xlm file opening in Infopath. I am using
Excel 2003 and Infopath 2007

Hi All

Is there an API call similar to Application.GetOpenFileName that will
allow a user to select a folder and then return the selected folder as
a String?

Thanks,
Chrisso
