Hi,
Does anyone know how to select a directory through code? When a common dialog control is opened you can only press o.k. when a file is selected, what happens if you want to be able to specify the directory and not individual files?
Cheers for any help

not sure what you are after
to go to a specific directory with commondialog
Code:'Set the properties of the text control
' change "C:\" to "your choice of dir"
CommonDialog1.InitDir = "C:\"
Thanxs for that, should do the trick nicely !!!
no I am already using the initfile but only specifies the startup directory for the dialog box. What I was after was the ability to select a directory, click o.k. and the dialog box to close. This only seems to happen when an individual file is selected. I have tried setting different flag numbers but that doesn't seem to work either.

Why not use a DirListBox?
Because unfortunately I can't add one in Excel (don't know why that is either but I posted a question on that the other day)
Cheers for all the help
