Hi,

is it possible to use a file/directory selection control on an Access Form
(Access 2003) ? I can't seem to find a way to do this, what I'd like to do is
to be able to have the user use a similar file/directory selection box as say
the standard Access File/Open menu option in order to select a file for
further processing ?

Have I missed something simple ?
regards
Dave
 
Solved it !

Well, I didn't, but I found very helpful post from Dirk Goldgar which
pointed me in the right direction - thanks Dirk !

Dave,

You can use the real thing - the Windows File Open dialog, but it takes
a little code. Have a look at:

It may look a little scary at first, but don't get intimidated, it's
just a question of copying and pasting, with very little to do around it.

HTH,
Nikos
