Newbie - Returning Directory FullName from Directory Open Dialog Box?
Hi GranpaK
Three ways of doing this, in increasing levels of sophistication.
1. After the Dialog has been closed, get the value returned from the
CurDir() function.
2. Don't use the File Open dialog if all you want is a folder. try this
instead
With Dialogs(wdDialogCopyFile)
If .Display = -1 Then MsgBox .Directory
End With
The disadvantage of this is that the dialog always has "Copy" in the
caption, and I have not found a way of getting rid of it.
3. Go to www.mvps.com/ccrp/ and download the BrowseDialog component. This
will give you a fully customisable browse for folders dialog for which you
can set the caption, and set a whole much of other features as well.
