Select folder from File Open form

[JJ]

I want to give a folder (not a file) as input to an
operation in my form.

Is there a standard way of doing that?

I am aware of the GetOpenFileName in comdlg32.dll - but
this only gives me a file - not a folder.

Any help is appreciated.

You can browse for and select a folder using the code found at:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm

Also, there is code to open/save files at:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

which is strongly recommended in the Access news groups.

hth,

Works well.

How do I specify the "default folder" - the folder I want
to suggest when the open-folder menu is selected?

Offhand, I don't know; you might want to go over to the "vb side" and check
out the following page and its related topics:
