Yes I've found that which effectively does what I want but it's a bit long
winded. Previoulsy I've had one button on the toolbar which you click and it
brings your folders straght up which you then select and everything is done
for you. I know it only saves a few seconds but it was just easy. I've found
the VBA code suggested which will put this funtion on my toolbar and have set
up the Macro but now can't find a way of putting a customised button on the
toolbar and assigning it to a macro. I'll get there eventually, it's all fun !
