I have the get folder location function listed below. I would like the dialogue box that opens to start into a specific root directory. This will allow the user to start at this location which they select the final destination from the list of folders within the root directory. How to I modify the following code so that the dialogue box opens to my desired directory? Is that even possible?

Desired Directory for the dialogue box to start from: T:\Work Files\Active Accounts\


Code:
Function GetFolder_Save_Here () As String


Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Dim fldr As FileDialog
Dim sItem As String
Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
    .Title = "Select a Folder"
    .AllowMultiSelect = False
    If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
    sItem = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
NextCode:
GetFolder = sItem
Set fldr = Nothing
Sheets("Intro Page").Range("AA3").Value = sItem & "\"
Sheets("Intro Page").Range("AA5").Value = sItem


If sItem = "" Then
    Exit Function
End If


Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Function

Thanks for the help.
