Activate a Folder that is already Running

[keith0528]

Greetings,

I have a path to a folder that is already running. I just want to bring it up on the screen.
Would that be done with AppActivate?

path:

"\\xxxxx\Loan\ImportFileLoadingDock\XXXXXSplitter"


Dim TargetDirectory as String

TargetDirectory = "\\xxxxx\Loan\ImportFileLoadingDock\XXXXXSplitter"

looking for correct syntax.



thanks,
Keith

Paths and folders can't "run". What exactly do you mean by this?

I think he means an open folder which he wants to maximize.
If that is the case then you can use the AppActivate by passing the title of the folder window in explorer

AppActivate "Enter the folder window tilte here"

Thanks guys for replying.

Hi Jaafar, yes your assumption is correct. I just wanted to maximize a folder that was minimized in the taskbar so it would be visible onscreen. I found a piece of code that does what I want. Thought i'd share in case anyone else needs to do this:

ChDir "C:\Users\Default\Desktop"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show

thanks
