I am using the common dialog API sampled here.
Users are able to link a powerpoint file to each record in my database. I store ONLY the filename because the database (and related directory) can change location depending on the installation location. I later concantenate CurrentProject.Path & "\Org Charts\" and the stored file name to get the full path.
I would like to limit the users' ability to look in other folders when they link a presentation. Right now, I use the API to open, initially, to the folder where the users *should* be storing their PPTs. The "Look In" pull-down allows them to browse elsewhere.
This causes an issue when I try to re-link the PPT because of the assumption that it correctly resides in the "\Org Charts\" folder.
Can I turn off the "Look In" pull-down?
Any help would be appreciated.
