Thanks for that, I've tried it but it does not give the desired results. :-(

Your code puts the folder name in the file name box and therefore does not
show the contents of the folder in the listbox that forms the main body of
the dialog. My original code lists the contents of the folder and leaves the
file name box empty.

Let me try to explain further...
We have a network drive that all users access, that has a folder
"precedents". The Precedents folder contains a load more sub-folders, one for
each department. These sub-folders hold a load of Word documents.

We've created a dialog box which contains a list box showing the sub-folders
of precedents, a user clicks on one of these, then clicks the Open button.
This should present the built in open dialog listing the word documents in
the subfolder.

Does this make sense? Any further ideas?

Thanks

Richard
