Opening a standard 'File open' dialog box.

[Dinand]

Hi,

I want to be able to open een file from within a form, so
I can open it for import using the TransferText command.

Is it possible to just call the standard open file dialog
box? If yes how, otherwise I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Check http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm for code that shows how to
use the
standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box.

Look at Microsoft Knowledge Database article 303066, it
explains how to use the common dialog box in Access. I've
tried it and it works, looks pretty pro.
