I know there is a common dialog for finding and opening files. But is there such a dialog for selecting folders? And then putting the folder path into a string?

Use this :
VB Code:
'PUT IN MODULE 'API declarations Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" (lpbi As BrowseInfo) As Long Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32" (ByVal pidList As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long Private Declare Function lstrcat Lib "kernel32" Alias "lstrcatA" (ByVal lpString1 As String, ByVal lpString2 As String) As Long 'Constants Private Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = 1 Private Const BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN = 2 Private Const MAX_PATH = 260 Private Const BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE = &H40 'Types Private Type BrowseInfo hWndOwner As Long pIDLRoot As Long pszDisplayName As Long lpszTitle As Long ulFlags As Long lpfnCallback As Long lParam As Long iImage As Long End Type Public Function funcBrowseFolder(WindowHandle As Long, BrowseTitle As String) As String 'Opens a Treeview control that displays the directories in a computer Dim lpIDList As Long Dim sBuffer As String Dim szTitle As String Dim tBrowseInfo As BrowseInfo szTitle = BrowseTitle '"Select the folder to save to" With tBrowseInfo .hWndOwner = WindowHandle .lpszTitle = lstrcat(szTitle, "") .ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS + BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN + BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE End With lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(tBrowseInfo) If (lpIDList) Then sBuffer = Space$(MAX_PATH) SHGetPathFromIDList lpIDList, sBuffer sBuffer = Left(sBuffer, InStr(sBuffer, vbNullChar) - 1) funcBrowseFolder = sBuffer End If End Function
