Selecting a Folder

[Steve Murphy]

Can CommonDialog be used to select a folder path? I just need to select the
folder, and not a specific file.

If not CommonDialog, what is the best approach for doing this?

Thanks in advance,
Steve Murphy

Most Access developers I've heard from recommend staying away from the
Common Dialog control, which is susceptible to versioning problems
leading to broken references. Instead, you can call the Windows
BrowseForFolder API directly, using the code available here:
