Filebrowsing in Access 1

[JZII]

Hi...
I have a little problem, My access database is linked with some templates in msword (2000), what I want is some kind of fileviewing of a specific folder in a drive, so I can browse the files in the folder and klick to start the templates, all this inside access. Is it possible...???
I have been looking for some Active X controls but I cant find any...any of you guy know something I don´t

Thanks!!! JZII

JZ,
Have you looked at the comdlg32.ocx? This should be installed on your machine. Go to that last icon in the formdesign toolbar (the vaguely marxist hammer icon) and this brings up the list of available ActiveX controls. Look for Microsoft Common Dialog.

Drop this onto a form, (it's invisible) and call it's ShowOpen, ShowSave, etc. methods.
