Using Windows Dialog Box

Hi All,

What i want to do is have a button on a form that is pressed, the standard
windows 'Open' dialog box is shown, the user chooses the path and filename
they need (which can be literally anywhere & anything) and says okay. That
path/filename needs then to be stored so i can use it in later code.

Additionally the windows dialog 'open' box needs to default to 'file type' =
All Files (*.*) as the file i want to use has a non-standard extension (its
an in-house format). And if possible, i would like to specify the default
folder that is shown in the dialog box when it is first opened.

Is any/all of this possible? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks
Emma
