Browse for a directory

[marcello62]

Hi there,

I'm using an MS Office FileDialog to browse for and select a file. This works fine. Now I want to let users browse for and select a map in which they can drop an output file. So this functionality should show only maps, not files. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'd use the Filters collection of your FileDialog object:
yourFileDialogObject.Filters.Add "Maps", "*.map", 1

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PHV, MajP,

Actually I came across another solution, which consists of passing the msoFileDialogFolderPicker parameter while initializing the file dialog object:

Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

This also works fine.
