combo box as directory
I've been searching the forum, but couldn't find it, so sorry if it's a repost

I want a drop down box to act as a directory, but only a partial directory. for example, I want it to look only in c:\userFiles\ and then the user can select from there.

in addition to that, I want to be able to import the file the user selects.

any ideas?

If you are using VB6 there is a common dialog control that provides the standard windows file selection dialog. You can specify a starting folder.

I think it's different in VBA, try searching online help or google.
