    I have an application in ACCESS that requires selecting file names from arbitrary directories to be stored in a field in an ACCESS database. I would like to use the standard windows open file dialog. As a newbie to this level of programming I am not sure where to find a complete control that can be called from a event handler in the VB code for the on_Click method for a button that I labeled 'BROWSE'. It seems a waste to have to reinvent that entire standard interface. Can someone point me in the direction of a implemented control. Thanks for your help. Jim Durbin durbin@northcoast.com

        Thanks for the information. When attempting to install this control, I get a message saying that I need a design time license. Am I doing something wrong, do I really need a license from MS for this control, or is there a work-around?
