You can use the next level icon in this dialog box to move up to the folder
level, although it comes up at the file level.

You can have the user pick a file, but return the folder it is in...
'-- Function GetMeAFolderOnly() As String Dim fso As Object Dim msg As String With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) .InitialFileName = "C:\" If .Show = -1 Then msg = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Function End If End With Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If fso.FileExists(msg) Then msg = fso.getparentfoldername(msg) GetMeAFolderOnly = msg Else GetMeAFolderOnly = "Invalid" End If Set fso = Nothing End Function '-- 'Call function... Sub FolderName() MsgBox GetMeAFolderOnly End Sub -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA (thanks in advance is meaningless) "CmK" wrote in message Hi I have tried looking everywhere no one seem to have an answer is there a File Dialog box that allows people to pick folders only but still shows the files iinside the folder Thanks in Advance |

It can be done, but you are marching to a different drummer...

The display and what is returned differs with the settings and the Windows operating system. It marches to a different drummer. <g -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "CmK" wrote in message HI Isn't desktop a normal folder why the object return error when i select it "Jim Cone" wrote: Yes, that what my tests show for an invalid drive designation.
