>Gordon, You will need to add the "Microsoft Common Dialog Control" to your Project\components. Take that component and add it to the form leave the default name "CommonDialog1". Add a textbox to the form called txtReturn. Add a ccommand button named cmdDialog. Insert the following code and POOF you have full access.

>    CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 0
>    ' The following sets the default start dir.
>    'CommonDialog1.InitDir = g_strMainName & g_strToPrintPath
>    CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlOFNExplorer
>    CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
>    ' Get the selection.
>    txtReturn.Text = CommonDialog1.filename

It works a treat and is so simple.
