Common Dialog

[Crystal]

Ok. Maybe this should be glaringly obvious, but I'm not
understanding something here. I need to have a common
dialog box come up when the user clicks the "Open
Database" command button.

I know the Common Dialog box is an ActiveX control. I've
never used an ActiveX control. I have Office 2000
Professional installed on my machine. I found the
Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 in my list of
controls, but I can't use it. It says I need a license.
I thought that feature would be included in Office 2000?

Could someone just pat me on the head here and explain
what is obviously eluding me?

The Common Dialof control comes with Office Developer, but I
don't know anyone that would recommend using it even if you
had it.

Take a look at the first item in the list at:
