GetOpenFilename Dialog default path

[Guest]

Hi

I'd like to display the open file dialog, but I'd like to default to the path that the workbook is in. I tried setting application.DefaultFilePath, but that didn't seem to help. I even tried opening and closing another file (quickly) in this path thinking it might stick -- it didn't

Is there any way to do this

Try this

Sub test()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String

SaveDriveDir = CurDir

MyPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath

FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If FName <> False Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FName)
MsgBox "your code"
wb.Close
End If

ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir

End Sub
