Browse utility

[Bob W]

I would like to incorporate the following Browse utility into some of my
forms:
When a Button is clicked( usually captioned Browse) a form containing a
view of what looks likes Windows Explorer comes up. Selection of a specific
file places the full path of the selected file into an adjoining text box..
This utlity is used throughout Office to allow selection of files. How can
I implement this utility into my forms ?

In Access 2002 and later, you can use the built-in
Application.FileDialog. Many of us find it easier (and more universal)
to call the Windows File Open/Save API directly, using code like that
