I think I could handle the selecting of the file but I haven't been able to figure out how to open the folder itself. Something like... f.OpenFolder The SelectFolder function displays an open dialog box which is what I'm not wanting. I don't want the user to have to navigate to a file, especially if they don't know it's location. If f equaled "C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\thefile.xyz then I would like the folder Folder3 to pop open on the desktop and have the file thefile.xyz selected (highlighted). Can I get some direction on this.
