Question : How to change open directory in msoFileDialogOpen (Excel Vba)

Hello All,

I'm using a file open dialog which I need for open multiple files and do some operations on it.
My problem is that everytime its open the intial directory is "My Documents". How do I change the Intial Directory (for example c:\temp)?
I'm using FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) but I cant find the property that I need.

Here is my code:

-------------------------------

  UserForm1.ListBox2.Clear
   Dim lngCount As Long
    Dim strFileNames() As String
    Dim objExcel As Excel.Application
    Set objExcel = New Excel.Application
   Call DoesDirExist
   
    ' Open the file dialog
    With objExcel.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
        .AllowMultiSelect = True
        .Show
        For lngCount = 1 To .SelectedItems.count
            ReDim Preserve strFileNames(lngCount - 1) 'Array starts at zero.        
            UserForm1.ListBox2.AddItem .SelectedItems(lngCount)
        Next lngCount
    End With
   
    objExcel.quit
    Set objExcel = Nothing

---------------------

Thanks,

Hi Eyal,

Have you tried this?

With objExcel.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
    .AllowMultiSelect = True
    .InitialFileName = "C:\NicoReport\" ' Initial starting directory...
    .Show
    For lngCount = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count
        ReDim Preserve strFileNames(lngCount - 1) 'Array starts at zero.
        UserForm1.ListBox2.AddItem .SelectedItems(lngCount)
    Next lngCount
End With
