How would I go about creating a Browse for File dialog box? I'm currenting using a Browse for Folder dialog box which works great but I have a need to browse for a file. I would like to be able to browse for a file and have the path and filename enter into a text box.

Use the CommonDialog control to display the Standard Open dialog box.
Need to include component "Microsoft Common Dialog Control 5.0 "


'=======================================================================
' PROCEDURE : FileOpenProc()
' Purpose : Displays standard Open dialog box to find a file
' PARAMETERS : none
'=======================================================================
Public Sub FileOpenProc()

On Error Resume Next
Dim sFileName As String

FileOpenDialogBox = ""
CMDialog1.filename = ""
CMDialog1.ShowOpen

If Err <> 32755 Then ' User chose Cancel.

sFileName = CMDialog1.filename
End If
End Sub
