>Can you lead me to the path of the common dialog.
It's fully documented in the MSDN Library. Probably the easiest way to get to the help file is to drop the control on a form (you need to make sure that the check box for the Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 is checked on the Controls tab of the Tools/Options dialog). Simply right click on the control and select Help from the context menu.
