File Viewer

Hello,

Is there a way to create a sort of subform in a form that displays files in a directory folder similar to the "My Computer" or "My Documents" format?

Why not just use the Application.FileDialog object?

 

[brsawvel]

How do I do that?

I saw that website before, but I tried to mimic it with no success. I do like the function, though, for another purpose - How can I bring up the save as screen with the directory folder where the file is to go already open?

The filedialog in question has an

.InitialDirectory

property where you can define where it is to open.

There are a lot of other properties as well, including you can open it as a save dialog or an open dialog, etc.
