Hello,

Has anyone encounter a Run Time Error 438 - Object doesn't support this property or method
when running VB code for File Dialog - Filters.Add in Excel for Office 365?

Typical codes:
Code:
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fd
   .ButtonName = "Select"
   .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"
   .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails 
   .Show
End with

When i exclude Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*" in my code,
the File Dialog window does not show any file to select.

The code works fine without error in Excel 2010.

Your expertise to resolute this issue is greatly appreciated...thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
your dialog is set to select Folders, while you need files. change to this:
Code:
set fd=Application.FileDialog ([COLOR=#ff0000]msoFileDialogFilePicker[/COLOR])

Oh geeze, i have chosen the wrong selection in the pop up menu...no wonder the code did not work.
Thank you so much for catching the error, @bobsan42.
