Re: FileDialog Object

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



AFAIK, as this dialog behaves the same a Windows (and I would guess is
generated by Windows, not Excel), that behaviour is by design.
The easiest alternative (apart from you users NOT doing it) is to design an
"old" style userform with a drive list box, folder list and file list.
Otherwise a more modern Explorer style interface would be better.
The API route provides for the implementation of a call back from the
dialog. Don't know if that would be useful for this though.

I use the fileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) object to select files for a VBA
application. When I allow multiplefiles, and if the files are selected
nonsequentially using the CTRL key, it often happens that copies of the
selected files are made within the open folder inadvertently. Is there
any
way to turn of file copying while using this object?
