>Hi Sergey,

>My client has new data files that will be named according to his purchase order number that will of course change with each file. He will import the data file into a unique .dbf each time as well. With that in mind, he wants a GUI form that will prompt him with the last used "filename" in one box and a blank box to key in his new "filename". Once he keys in his new filename, I would like that keyed data to be updated in my program that creates and imports the file.
In addition to Sergey's advice, take a look at the GetFile() function. It lets the user navigate the directory system and point to a file, and returns the complete path and name of the file selected.
When I need the user to point to a file, I often use a form with a disabled textbox showing the file name and an ellipsis (three dots) button next to it. The Click method of the button calls GetFile().
