Microsoft common dialog control

[Rona]

Hi,

I've been trying to include a file browser window on my
form (like the one that appears when you click file-open
in MS WOrd). Some groups have suggested using the
Microsoft common dialog control, but I don't see that in
my toolbox. Even when I go to tools-references I can't
find the control. Can someone help? I found an api online
that can be used instead of this control, but using the
control just seems a lot easier. I'm using Office XP on a
Win XP pro system. Please help.

Thanks

Actually using the api is tons easier and guaranteed to work on all 32 bit
systems. The activex cintrol is really "iffy", constantantly breaking
references (I know, I used the common dialog control 4 years ago and am
still suffering the consequences). Try Ken Getz's code which is very easy to
use:
