Hello folks,

in the "Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="All files, ...etc.."
How can one specify the initial directory?
That is, how can I get the OpenFilename dialog box to be initially in a specific folder before I start browsing?

Thanks,

Marino

you could try setting the default location before hand as

With Application
.DefaultFilePath = "c:\"
End With
