You can make it work using the following amendment, but are you aware that this will make the top level (i.e. root) folder the selected item, so you won't be able to navigate back up. Did you actually want to just reselect the current item?

PS If you just want to pre-select whatever was in the textbox, then try the attached version.

thanks romperstomper

this is what I want, but how do I get a "\" always at the end. I also want to list the files in that folder.

You can just alter the code to append the backslash:

Where were you planning to list the files?

Thanks, I got it to work; I am listing the files in a listbox on a userform, without the file ext. I am creating a mp3 file lister with track names. From the directory I generate the ** name, and add the track names horizontally. I can also view them on a separate userform. The ** name generating is quit unique. My CD1, CD2 of a album is under the name of the ** in separate folders, and the ** name gets generated accordingly.

Send me a PM if you want to see the file
