Hi,

In short:

My macro allows for editing a "database entry". On creation of a new entry, a directory is created to store files at the root of the .XLSM file. Then other sub directories are created. All files (attachments) are uploaded via a userform.

The user will have the choice to view the explorer window of the directory by a button click in the userform, but I would only like it to be read only. So they can't modify. However, my VBA code needs to be able to modify (add, delete, rename) files within the directory.

A good point: it doesnt necessarily have to be read only. I just want them to click the button, see the files in the folder, but not be able to modify.

Any tips?

Thanks for all the help, folks!!!
