BlueScreen Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi, Is there a way I can make force the user (using FileOpenDialog) to choose a file from 1 specific folder only and not to choose an other one ? I know I can run an IF statement after the choose and extract the folder from the filename path, but is there a way to do it w/o the IF? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 11, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2006 Have you looked at FileSelectFolder()? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 11, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Yes I have. But I want him to choose a FILE NOT a folde.No need for the caps, I misread the file part. Edit: Gary made a custom one I think a while back in the scripts and scraps forum... Other than specifying what and where the user starts at (with the current one) ie... $Var = FileOpenDialog('Select A File From This Folder', @HomeDrive & '\MyFolder', 'Zip File Only (*.zip)', 1, 'MyZip.zip') MsgBox(0, '', $Var)I don't see how you can stop them from still surfing around.
