    GetFolder

    https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....acement-dialog

    The code in Msg2 needs a reference added. Anyone know what it is?
    With it will the code there return a folder ?
    The link in msg 1 has expired but an XP get folder routine is what I'm looking for.
    Thanks.

    Many thanks, I've added the ref but now run into error 429 ActiveX component can't create object
    This is on Line With pChooseDir
    Once I can run it it may become obvious, but I can't see where the folder name is assigned or the Function returns it.

    If you're interested in using the standard open file dialog format to pick folders, you might be interested in know that the IFileDialog shell interface introduced in Vista does it the exact same way with the FOS_PICKFOLDERS option:

    You wrote that you need that routine to work on XP,
    Fafalone's approach needs Vista or later

    No surprise faf's approach doesn't work for you
    *shrug*
