Code:
Private Sub cmdPrimary_Click()
    txtPrimary.text = GetFolder("Select the Primary Folder")
End Sub

Private Sub txtPrimary_AfterUpdate()
Stop
End Sub

The GetFolder function returns a value which txtPrimary displays.
It isn't assigned a value until then but the After Update event doesn't fire.
Unless I type something into the text box. Is that how it's supposed to be ?
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
I made it work with

Code:
Private Sub cmdPrimary_Click()
    txtPrimary.text = GetFolder("Select the Primary Folder")
    txtPrimary_AfterUpdate
End Sub

Isn't that plain crazy ?
