Macro to open specific folder

[Buns1976]

Hi Everyone,

I have the macro below on a button in a worksheet and I want it to open "C:\Users\HOME\Dropbox\DSR DAILY IMPORT" so we can select a file
which it does BUT it also opens "My Documents" folder as well? I'm not seeing why that is happening?

Thank you!

Try:

Sub Buns()
    Dim MyFolder As FileDialog, FileChosen As Integer, FileName As String, wkbSourceBook As Workbook, wkbCrntWorkBook As Workbook
    Dim rngSourceRange As Range, rngDestination As Range
    Set wkbCrntWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
    Set MyFolder = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    MyFolder.InitialFileName = "C:\Users\HOME\Dropbox\DSR DAILY IMPORT\"
    FileChosen = MyFolder.Show
    FileName = MyFolder.SelectedItems(1)
    Set wkbSourceBook = Workbooks.Open(FileName)
    Set rngSourceRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select source range", Title:="Source Range", Default:="A1:I400", Type:=8)
    wkbCrntWorkBook.Activate
    Set rngDestination = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select destination cell", Title:="Select Destination", Default:="A1", Type:=8)
    rngSourceRange.Copy rngDestination
    wkbSourceBook.Close False
End Sub

Hi Mumps,

The macro below is very similar to the one from yesterday and I tried editing it but no luck. Wonder if you might have a look at it please?
There are multiple sheets in this workbook so the destination sheets are key.

Thank you!!

Sub IMPORT_PLUs()    Dim wkbCrntWorkBook As Workbook
    Dim wkbSourceBook As Workbook
    Dim rngSourceRange As Range
    Dim rngDestination As String
    Set wkbCrntWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
        .Filters.Clear
        .Filters.Add "Excel 2007-13", "*.xlsx; *.xlsm; *.xlsa; *.csv"
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Show
        If .SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            Workbooks.Open .SelectedItems(1)
            Set wkbSourceBook = ActiveWorkbook
            Set rngSourceRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select source range", Title:="Source Range", Default:="A1:H500", Type:=8)
            wkbCrntWorkBook.Activate
            rngDestination = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select destination cell", Title:="Select Destination", Default:="A1")
            rngSourceRange.Copy Sheets("POS IMPORT").Range(rngDestination)
            Sheets("POS IMPORT").Columns.AutoFit
            wkbSourceBook.Close False
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Please explain in detail how it is not working for you. Do you get any error messages. If so what is the message and which line of code is highlighted when you click "Debug"?

Hi Mumps,
Sorry I probably wasn't clear. The code I posted last works with the exception of opening the folder we want to pick the file from
which is "C:\Users\HOME\Dropbox\LOTTERY-PLU DAILY IMPORT".

Thank you!

 

[mumps]

Does the macro I suggested not work for you? In that macro you can set the desired folder with this line of code:

MyFolder.InitialFileName = "C:\Users\HOME\Dropbox\LOTTERY-PLU DAILY IMPORT\"

Hi Mumps,

The macro is hanging up on the the 2 lines

"rngSourceRange.Copy Sheets("POS IMPORT").Range(rngDestination)  
  Sheets("POS IMPORT").Columns.AutoFit"

This seems to work:

Sub Buns()
    Dim MyFolder As FileDialog, FileChosen As Integer, FileName As String, wkbSourceBook As Workbook, wkbCrntWorkBook As Workbook
    Dim rngSourceRange As Range, rngDestination As Range
    Set wkbCrntWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
    Set MyFolder = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    MyFolder.InitialFileName = "C:\Users\HOME\Dropbox\LOTTERY-PLU DAILY IMPORT\"
    FileChosen = MyFolder.Show
    FileName = MyFolder.SelectedItems(1)
    Set wkbSourceBook = Workbooks.Open(FileName)
    Set rngSourceRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select source range", Title:="Source Range", Default:="A1:I400", Type:=8)
    wkbCrntWorkBook.Activate
    Set rngDestination = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select destination cell", Title:="Select Destination", Default:="A1", Type:=8)
    rngSourceRange.Copy rngDestination
    Sheets("POS IMPORT").Columns.AutoFit
    wkbSourceBook.Close False
End Sub
