Is there a dialog box like the one used in GetOpenFilename that can be used to select a directory?
I'm trying to select a directory/folder which will change each month but the macro selects the files from inside the folder once it's specified. I don't need the name of the current path; the path name needs to be able to be selected.
I've seen many posts advocating the use of BrowseFolder.zip located at
[url]
And some others saying to use the FileDialog object (if you use Excel 2002, or older(?))
I have to admit both are above my prior experience level, but I think I can do it if I understand what their function, requirements, and output are.
All I need is a dialog box that preferably lets me select the default directory, and then allows the user to select the target directory.
I have a file which is opened every so often. This file when opened it presents a userform in which you browse two files which then get loaded into the document and some charts/pivots are updated with the information from the loaded files.
When you click on the browse button it opens the browser dialog box in the libraries path. I am wondering if it's possible to have the dialog box open in the last directory path used.
For example:
A week ago I opened the file from the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
What I would like to happen is that when I open the file today and I click the "Browse" button (which opens the dialog box to find files in your computer) for the dialog box to open automatically in the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
Then if tomorrow the file is opened from the path C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project
Then a week from now when you browse for the file the dialog box opens automatically in the C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project path
This is what I have right now and it always opens the dialog box on C:UsersIntiDocuments

I have code below which brings up a dialogue box and allows me to sect an excel file. Is there a way to change this code so the dialogue box will ask me to select a folder instead? I want to be able to select a folder and the rest of the code will open the files in the folder.
Sub Euro()
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim sFileName1 As String
myMsg = "Please Select Euromcontact Value File"
Response = MsgBox(myMsg, vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, myTitle)
sFileName1 = Application. GetOpenFilename
If sFileName1 = "False" Then Exit Sub
Set wb1 = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=sFileName1)
With wb1
.Activate
End With
End Sub
I am trying to set a macro that will delete a sheet which the spreadsheet user types the name of the sheet into a dialog box rather than go to the actual sheet and delete the sheet.

The script collects all the files in directory and sub-directories and list them in ascending format, I want them to get in transpose format. like for example: Root folder has many sub directories and in them a sub directory XYZ has 5 excel files, it will get the sub directory name in Col A and transpose all .xls files.
Col A | Col B________|Col C_________ |Col D___________|Col E________|

In the template, there is a pop-up box (not a dialog box) that shows up when I'm on certain cells. I've attached an image of it. It's the yellow box containing the words "Company Information..." etc. I cannot find any way to remove it! It's not a comment, and selecting it doesn't allow you to edit it. What is it, and does anyone know how to remove it?

I have the a spreadsheet with macro which copies the first sheet and renames. This I have working OK. I then have within this macro the following code to delete the contents of a cell (the date) and have the macro open a Input box and enter that date in the same cell. If no date is entered in the Input Box, then I want todays date entered.
The date from the Input Box works except every second sheet created reverts from the date format dd/mm/yy to mm/dd/yy.
If no date is entered in the dialog box, todays date does not activate.
I have checked the formatting of the cell and windows.
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("Password")
ActiveSheet.Range("J281").ClearContents
ActiveSheet.Range("J281") = InputBox("Enter Date if not todays date", "Type:")
If Range("J281") = "" Then
Range("J281") = Date
End If
ActiveSheet.Protect ("Password")
How can i call the Save As dialog box from a macro, and pre-populate the filename field with a cell value from the workbook? I have tried this code

I am using Excel 2003
I need to modify 2 Excel built-in dialogs via VBA. Here is the first dialog box:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogWorkbookCopy).Show
First, in the "Move or Copy" window, where it says, "move selected sheets to book:" I'd like the default selection to be the open workbook instead of "(new book)", which is the current default. How can this be done?
Second, I'd like to remove the check box so there is no option to copy visible, however, I need to add the code in the sub procedure to make a copy. How can I do this?
The second dialog box I need to modify is this one:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show.
What I need this to do is open with the tab" Header/Footer" visible as a default, or, better still, have only the "Header/Footer" tab available and the other 3 tabs not there at all. How do I do this?
I have made a dialog box open using VBA to select some file,
Function FSel()
filetoopen = Application. GetOpenFilename("Document Files (*.xls), *.xls", 1)
Workbooks.Open Filename:=filetoopen
End Function
I need to activate the sheet which is selected in that string "filetoopen".I am not getting the way to do this ,the normal Windows(" " ).Activate is not working with variable as input.
I am placing the funcation Fsel in a loop so each time it asks for the file to open which is not proper,so i wanted to activate sheet .
I am working with Excel 2003 and find that the default "Protect Sheet" dialog box opens with a default of both the "Select locked cells" as well as the "Select unlocked cells" check boxes marked. Is there a way to change this default?
