You could use the SHBrowseForFolder API. Can't remember where I found it
though...

I have an application where I want the user to be able to save a file
using a file window. I have done it before using similar code below;
however, I don't want the user to name the file, just select the
directory location. Is there a way to modify this code or is there
another where the user can select the location, but through code, I
will name the file?
Dim strFilter As String
Dim path As String
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, "Microsoft Access (*.mdb)",
"*.mdb")
path = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
Filter:=strFilter, OpenFile:=False, _
DialogTitle:="Save File As", _
Flags:=ahtOFN_HIDEREADONLY)
Thanks,
