GetOpenFilename; how do I access the working path?

John McGraw · Mar 20th, 2002, 01:48 PM

When I do a GetOpenFilename(), it works ok, but I want to be able to choose the path
that first pops up when this method is used.
(Its the last path changed to by the user)

How can I access the path that automatically is searched when a Getopenfilename is used?

Thanks.

Before the getopenfilename(), insert the following 2 lines:

ChDrive ("C:")
ChDir ("C:temp")
Application.GetOpenFilename

correction, only 1 '' instead of 2

I dont understand the correction, do you mean 1 of the back slashes each time, or 2 backslashes 1 time?

Oh, I guess I'll figure it out!

Thanks BTW!

yes, only 1 slash instead of 2. for some reason, this forum converted my 1 slash into 2.
