Common Dialog Boxes

[lionel]

I need to allow the user of my program to choose a Folder to work in.
I know how to use the common dialog box procedure using
"Application.Dialogs(commondialogFindFiles)" to allow the user to find a file.
How can I show a common dialog box to pick a folder, instead of a file?

You could use the built-in File dialog picker:

Sub a()
Dim x As FileDialog
Set x = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
x.Show
MsgBox x.SelectedItems(1)
End Sub

or the Windows API folder browser:
