I need to Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog
box to save a filename/location to an access database and
then be able to view the file

Check this out. It is more efficient and doesn't bloat your project
size as much as actually using the Common Dialog Box..

I have already tried this code. I could not get it to
work. Do I need to have a devloper's edition of access?

No, There is an example of how to use the API call.

Take a look at the TestIt and GetOpenFile functions. You need to copy
everything in the page after the *****CodeStart****.

Paste this into a code module and save the module. Then, from your
form add some code behind the click event of a command button to call
the GetOpenFile function. Let me know how that works.
