File Finder control

[mathisjay]

I have a case where I need to allow the user to select a file from their harddrive for importing into the application.

I would like to be able to put a "File Finder" control on the form rather than make them type in the whole file location.

I'm sure someone already has a control for doing this. Any help?

If you had searched this forum for "browse" or "common dialog" then you would have found many threads with suggestions and samples for what you are seeking.

Check out these APIs for calling the standard windows "File Open" and "Browse Folder" using VBA...

API: Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

API: BrowseFolder Dialog
