Problem solved. I did not have the reference to 'Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library'... simply enough solution.

Also which reference library do I attach to get such functionality as: Office.FileDialog. Check 4 website and acquired 3 different answers. Attach a reference call to a specific package ??? or add the appropriate API calls?
