Excel VBA Part 24 - File Dialogs

Using FileDialogs in VBA provides a convenient method for selecting files and folders and performing useful actions on them. This video covers how to use the standard FileOpen and SaveAs dialogs, and how to perform their default actions. The video also covers the use of the FilePicker and FolderPicker dialogs and how to use FileSystemObjects to process a collection of selected files to perform actions such as copying files to another folder.

See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.

Hi Deepu,

I'm sorry but this video doesn't have an Excel file available for download. All of our newer videos have downloadable files and you can find the links for these in the description above each video.
