Browse for files

[soren.pedersen]

I have a table with an OLE Object where I store files (Word, Excel, PDF...). I can drag and drop files, no problem. But I want to be able to browse (like a standard File Open dialog box), in order to add the files that way.
Any suggestions on how to do this ?

You can use the CommonDialog Active X control but you will need to be licensed. I wanted to use this but I needed the developers’ version of Access. We now have XP developer and although it does more it isn't as reliable.

Could please you tell me what you used to be able to drag and drop files.

Thanks

Thank you - it is working.

The drag&drop is straight forward. A form created using the wizard, the OLE Object shows on the form as a Bound Object Frame.
