Select multiple file from standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

[jake.he]

Hi:

I know how to select a file from the standard Windows File Open/Save
dialog box. Does anybody know how to select more then one file in the
same Windows File Open/Save dialog box?

So after selection, it will return a/an list/array of path&file names.

If you are asking about Microsoft Access database, the problems it it
will only open one application at a time. You can open the program more
than once but each session can only open one database. The database may
link to others. If not:

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.

If you are calling the Windows File Open/Save dialog from your Access
application, there's an option you can set to allow multiselect. When
you use that option, IIRC the return buffer will contain the path and
filename of the first file -- I could be wrong about that -- followed by
a Chr(0), followed by the names of the remaining files, all separated by
Chr(0), so that the list ends with two Chr(0) characters in a row. If
you're using the code at www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm , then you
need to modify the code slightly so that it doesn't truncate the result
at the first Chr(0).
