    User entered filename for ExportXML?


    When the user clicks a button on a form, I am running the following:

    Code:
      Application.ExportXML _
        ObjectType:=acExportTable, _
        DataSource:="tblXMLExport", _
        DataTarget:="C:\dir\subdir\filename.xml"
    I want to ask the user to define "filename" before I run Application.ExportXML. How would you recommend I do this? Can I concatenate into the DataTarget parameter? Thanks!

    I usually place a text box on the form and call the standard Windows browse dialog.
