I am sure if there is a way in C, there is a way in VBA
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi,
I have the attached code in a function in a macro in VBA. I pass it a filter string, which is then used to display .xls and .xml files for selection through the GetOpenFileName function.
I would like to set the view to "Display" and sort by the "Date Modified" column.
I have searched the knowledgebase and some solutions talk about dialogs and hook functions. There is also an extended solution that unfortunately uses C++, and I am not sure how to bring that code to VBA.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers
Greg

don't think it is possible in VBA, no mention of these options under the OPENFILENAME structure en-us/libr ary/ ms6468 39%28VS.85 %29.aspx
