Currently, I have a toolbar containing macros for opening forms
that I use. I click a button and a form opens. I would like to do the same for 2 folders I want to access quicker. Is there a way to do this? thank you, mojr |

John,
Thank you very much for getting back. Where could I find the code you referred to? I would definitely like to try to do that. thank you, mojr "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Use FileOpen from Word to navigate to the folder you want. Select the folder but do NOT open the folder. In the FileOpen dialog, look at the top right: you will see a "Tools" menu. Open that, and choose the "Add to my places" item. An icon for the folder will appear in the left column of your FileOpen dialog and stay there. That's about as close as you can come to it in current versions of Word. They took away the ability to save favourite file searches in Word. You can make a macro to do this, but you have to write it, you can't record it. It's probably better to create shortcuts to the folders you want and put them in your Quick Launch bar in Windows.

What I meant was the code to place the folder on the toolbar. John said
You can make a macro to do this, but you have to write it, you can't record it. I want to click the folder on the toolbar and it opens. I do not want a shortcut to the folder on the taskbar. Been there, done that. The shortest distance between 2 objects(folder) is a straight line. Having another shortcut on the taskbar is taking a detour. thank, mojr "Suzanne S.

John,
Thank s for getting back. I kind of figured it would be like that. Oh well. It was worth a shot by asking. Thanks very much!! mojr "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Yeah. *I* know what you want. But you do have to write a macro to do it, then put the macro on your toolbar. It's a complex macro to write and requires some advanced VBA. In the time it would take you to learn how (at least a month or two unless you are already expert at VBA) you would have saved a lot of time if you can learn to live with the Places Bar and the Task Bar :-) I don't use the technique myself because it's too much of a fiddle, and I already know how to do it :-) Cheers On 28/3/06 1:40 PM, in article , "MoJR" wrote: What I meant was the code to place the folder on the toolbar.

What does it say? I don't get one.
Just thought - is it something about hyperlinks being potentially unsafe? I believe it is subject to your macro security level (Tools Macro Security) - try setting it to Medium. -- Enjoy, Tony "MoJR" wrote in message ... tony, Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

It tells me that hyperlinks can be dangerous. I should trust only hperlinks
from trusted authors. Resetting the macro security didn't help. Any other suggestions hopefully? mojr "Tony Jollans" wrote: What does it say? I don't get one.

Hi MoJR,
Interesting. I didn't normally see the message with Security set to medium. To test, I set security to high, and got the message. Then I couldn't get rid of it! Whatever odd thing happened to me, this should clear it for you: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829072 -- Enjoy, Tony "MoJR" wrote in message ... It tells me that hyperlinks can be dangerous.
