Aaah nice but,,,

The load is now 100% sensible but Its broken the cancel buttons again

Pressing cancel is the same as pressing load.

Almost

The first dialogue still retains the last file name but the second is blank, I think what it should do is ...

First dialogue = empty but retains path chosen last - ready to select a new file
Second dialogue = Filename chosen in first dialogue but in path selected in second dialogue - usually would save with same name as loaded

Nice one:) Nailed that bit.

Ok, how about this...  

where you have it remembering the file/path that was last loaded, is there a way to make it only remember the actual path not the file?
what happens is, you load the first time and its all 100% but second file load goes to the correct folder but also has the last file name pre-loaded where it should be blank

Getting down to the nitty-gritty now
Don't forget to add a block of comments at the top showing who developed it and when - its a great bit of code i think.

Ah, ok.

I'm unsure how the dialogues you are using function, in VB6 they have a return value which is either false if cancel is pressed or contains a string if a target is entered and ok pressed. I also test for null strings incase user presses ok but does not enter a filename.

No worries, its damn good and very tidy, thanks so far for the massive effort.

Persistent file dialogues look good, however the cancel buttons appear to have the same effect as the ok buttons


Getting there though

WOW, now that is getting slick

Nicely done there.


Without taking the P which is totally not my intention, can i suggest a luxury add-on, only if it is possible of course?...

Is there a way that when you set the file dialogues, it sets a variable that would remember the path to each dialogue chosen so on the next file it opens in that directory?

Purely a luxury and i know how dodgy variables are in Mach but...




One other tiny little thing - when in the file dialogues if you press "cancel", make it abort the whole loop.

Very nicely done
Much appreciated BTW


Can you go a step further ?

Add in a "save as" dialogue box so we can choose to put file anywhere - some of my jobs consist of multiple files within a job folder, cant have them piled into Code folder alone

Now, that is outstanding

Nicely done.

Ok, so next mini-bug fix is to make the import/load skip straight to the LoadFile part IF the file selected already has "_filtered" in the name - what happens is, next time it is loaded, you get "_filtered_filtered"  and so on

Looking damn good though, many thanks.

Hmm, ok my thoughts on it running using VB6 core did not work, is there a way to make this work if you have no Excel etc installed??
