Beginner help with FolderBrowserDialogI'm learning VB and am making an application where I need a user to be
able to choose which folder his files are located in. The folder path chosen will be stored as a string for later use in the application. I tried adding FolderBrowserDialog to my form but can't figure out how to get it to work. I'm just above the 'Hello World' level here. Thanks. <chriskn***@gmail.com> schrieb:

I added your code and replaced the MsgBox with - strTestPath = (Me.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) txtTestPath.Text = (Me.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) Thanks again! Chris Chris,
Don't mean to make Herfried blush, but he's got a lot of good answers. My abilities at coding are probably about the same as yours and he and the others have helped me to learn a lot of stuff in a very short period of time. One of the things that they have been able to show me is how to condense my code to make it more efficient and, if you don't mind me adding my two cents.. > strTestPath = (Me.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) If you are using a control to store a value on your form, that value can be > txtTestPath.Text = (Me.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) called from anywhere in the code for that form at any time, so your two lines of code can actually be condensed down to one line... txtTestPath.Text = Me.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath I found out that I really didn't need the parentheses either, thanks to... blush... these fine folks.

can get very serious errors. :-) CorShow quoteHide quote "Herfried K.
