Helo everyone,
I am using this code to unzip files:

[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]        End If[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]
[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#232323][FONT=Raleway][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]       [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#38761D][FONT=Raleway] 'Extract the files into output folder[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]        For i = LBound(Fname) To UBound(Fname)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]            [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]            oApp.Namespace(Output_Folder).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(Fname(i)).items[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]        [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]    End If[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]    [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][FONT=Raleway]End Sub[/FONT][/COLOR]

But instead of let the output folder inside the code, I would like to put it in a cell where other people could easily change the output. Can someone help me to change this code?

Thanks a lot.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Change this,
Code:
        Output_Folder = "C:\Users\Dreams\Desktop\Test_Unzip\Unzip"
to this.
Code:
        Output_Folder = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value ' change sheet/cell reference as required
