Hello all,
Could anybody help me regarding the following issues. I am writing a VB macro in XL where I need to select a folder by clicking on the Open button, created by me. I should be able to browse my computer to select a folder and retuen back to my xl sheet with the selected folder path. Then if I press Execute, it should execute the DOS command dir /s files. xls to get all the files including its sub folders in to an xml file. Then I will apply some simple logic to meet my requirements. Could anybody provide me the VB code for the following activities. 1. VB code to open a new browse window where I can select a folder and this path is returned back to text box. 2. A way to invoke the command prompt from VB macro to execute the command dir /s files.xls Thanks Sri -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...mming/200810/1 |

For the folder browser:
Private Const BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS As Long = &H8 Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER As Long = &H1000 Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER As Long = &H2000 Private Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES As Long = &H4000 Private Const MAX_PATH As Long = 260 Function BrowseFolder(Optional Caption As String, _ Optional InitialFolder As String) As String Dim SH As Shell32.Shell Dim F As Shell32.Folder Set SH = New Shell32.Shell Set F = SH.BrowseForFolder(0&, Caption, BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS, InitialFolder) If Not F Is Nothing Then BrowseFolder = F.Items.Item.Path ' F.Items.Item.InvokeVerb End If End Function Sub Display_Folder() Dim FName As String FName = BrowseFolder(Caption:="Select A Folder", InitialFolder:="C:\MyFolder") If FName = vbNullString Then MsgBox ("No folder selected.") Else MsgBox ("Folder Selected: " & FName) End If End Sub Must first set a reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation. For the DIR: Sub Macro1() x = Shell("cmd.exe /c dir /s files.xls", 1) End Sub -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200810 "Sri via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Hello all, Could anybody help me regarding the following issues.
