There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to
distribute the common dialog OCX.. Instead use the common dialog API
calls as documented at the Access Web or the MS Knowledge Base.
Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

While the article is in A97 the same code will work in newer versions
of Access
