Hi
I am sending you the standard module used for open dialog box. Copy the module in a new module called APIOpenFile
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function ap_GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _
"GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long
Private Type OPENFILENAME
lStructSize As Long
hwndOwner As Long
hInstance As Long
lpstrFilter As String
lpstrCustomFilter As String
nMaxCustFilter As Long
nFilterIndex As Long
lpstrFile As String
nMaxFile As Long
lpstrFileTitle As String
nMaxFileTitle As Long
lpstrInitialDir As String
lpstrTitle As String
flags As Long
nFileOffset As Integer
nFileExtension As Integer
lpstrDefExt As String
lCustData As Long
lpfnHook As Long
lpTemplateName As String
End Type
Public Function ap_FileOpen(Optional strTitle As String = "Open File", _
Optional strFileName As String = "", _
Optional strFilter As String = ""

As String
Dim OpenFile As OPENFILENAME
Dim lngReturn As Long
If Len(strFileName) = 0 Then
strFileName = String(255, 0)
End If
If Len(strFilter) = 0 Then
strFilter = "Access Databases (*.mdb)" & Chr(0) & _
"*.mdb" & Chr(0)
End If
OpenFile.lStructSize = Len(OpenFile)
OpenFile.lpstrFilter = strFilter
OpenFile.nFilterIndex = 1
OpenFile.lpstrFile = strFileName + _
Space(255 - Len(strFileName))
OpenFile.nMaxFile = 255
OpenFile.lpstrFileTitle = strFileName
OpenFile.nMaxFileTitle = OpenFile.nMaxFile
OpenFile.lpstrInitialDir = CurrentProject.Path
OpenFile.lpstrTitle = strTitle
OpenFile.flags = 0
ap_GetOpenFileName OpenFile
ap_FileOpen = Left(OpenFile.lpstrFile, _
InStr(OpenFile.lpstrFile, Chr$(0)) - 1)
End Function
----------------------------------------
In your form write this behind your commad button to open the Open File Dialog box
Me.TxtDir = APIOpenFile.ap_FileOpen("Locate SearchCodes_Data.mdb"
Where TxtDir is the name of text box where the path of file will be stored.
Cheers!
