You have to use API calls in 97.  There are lots of examples of the code
on the web and I know it's been posted here.  Try searching the archives
for "Open File Dialog".

Subject: [AccessD] Open a File Dialog Box


Hello everyone!

I know I've seen it discussed here before but I couldn't find it in the
archives (probably due to operator error...mine...).

I need to have a 'browse' button on a form that will allow the users to
open the File Dialog Box (the normal Windows one) so they can browse to
the file the program needs if necessary.  Normally they will not have to
do this, but, things will not always be 'normal' in real life.  This
gives them the option to go find the file using a familiar interface.

Is this done using an API call or can it be done strictly thru VB?  I'm
using Access 97 currently.

TIA!
