opening a folder from worksheet

  • Morning all,


    Is it possible to have a text box and a macro button that when a user enters a name of a folder (or part of the name) on say the c:\ drive it takes you there?


    Example being i have a folder called Alcan Inc on my c:\ drive, so i type in the text box alcan and click the macro. it then opens a windows explorer screen with the folder open.


    Any ideas would be great!

    Put this in the button click event


    Code
    Shell "explorer C:\" & TextBox1.Text, vbNormalFocus

    HTH
