Question Pick file and folders using browse button?

[ashwilkie01]

Hi All,

Trying to come up with a method to have a browse button that displays the msoFileDialogFilePicker dialog box so the user can pick a file but also be able to choose a folder if they wish as well... Is there some kind of way of having the filepicker and folderpicker dialog boxes combined such that the user can choose either file or folder from a single dialog box??

The whole idea is for a hyperlink to be created in an office document that is linked to either a specific file or a directory.

Thanks for your help,

Ash

do you mean to combine the openfiledialog and folderbrowserdialog?

if you want to copy hyperlink to linked to a file. just use this. after you openfiledialog

OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Label4.Text = OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory
