    VBcode

    Is there someone out there who can tell me how to open a directory (for example "c:\mydir") by using vbcode, instead of using a windows shortcut

    It would be of great help for me to be able to do this!

    Please reply to me!

    You can use the ShellExecute API. For example...
    VB Code:
    1. ShellExecute Screen.ActiveForm.hWnd, "Open", "C:\MyDir", "", "C:\", vbNormalFocus
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    Thank You so much for your exellent suggestion!
    It solved my problem of how to open a specific folder.
    As being a beginner in Vb it's sometimes difficult where to find the appropriate information.

    with best regards
