KK,
Not exactly like Word, but this gives you folder selection utility.
Dot Net may have another way.

Public Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" _
(lpbi As BrowseInfo) _
As Long

Public Type BrowseInfo
hWndOwner As Long
pIDLRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As String
lpszTitle As String
ulFlags As Long
lpfnCallback As Long
lParam As Long
iImage As Long
End Type

Public Const BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER = &H1000 'Only returns computers. If
the user selects anything other than a computer, the OK button is grayed.
Public Const BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER = &H2000 'Only returns printers. If
the user selects anything other than a printer, the OK button is grayed.
Public Const BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN = &H2 'Does not include network
folders below the domain level in the tree view control.
Public Const BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS = &H8 'Only returns file system
ancestors. If the user selects anything other than a file system ancestor,
the OK button is grayed.
Public Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = 1 'Only returns file system
directories. If the user selects folders that are not part of the file
system, the OK button is grayed.
Public Const BIF_STATUSTEXT = &H4 'Includes a status area in
the dialog box. The callback function can set the status text by sending
messages to the dialog box.

Please do not crosspost questions between .NET and non-.NET groups. If your
question is about VB.NET, please use the *.dotnet.* groups. If it is about
VB6 or earlier, use the *.vb.* groups.
