Hi all,

I want to pass a path to a procedure to get Excel to open a windows explorer folder.

It is not to select a file, and I do not require anything to be passed back to Excel. I just want windows explorer to open in that path.

Thanks

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
