[AccessD] Select Mulitple Files in a Dialog Box - SOLVED

I tried that, but I'm told it's not a valid property.

I played with some vb constants and I could select multiple files, but I
hated the interface that resulted from it.
So some more research led me to this.

fDialog.flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect + cdlOFNExplorer + cdlOFNLongNames

If you use only cdlOFNAllowMultiselect it works but the interface of the
dialog changes.
Add the cdlOFNExplorer and it looks just like the standard dialog, but
allows multiple selections.  Then I just need to parse out all the files by
using the spaces left between each file name.

Thanks for the help.  Hopefully someone else can use these vb constants.
