Browse to file location button

[davedinger]

Background Information:
Im working on a Document Management Program idea and I have a snag that should be simple but im not sure how to get it to work.
Basically we have a ton of company traning documents but no real good way of organizing them. So my plan is to dump them all into one folder named "traning_docs"



The access part of this is very simple. Its jsut going to be used as a index to all of the files. Basically when someone puts a file in the Traning_docs folder the will let me know. the user or administrator I will make a record in access that contains fileds like document name field / a category field / and others to help the user search/ all of which are not relivant at to this issue but gives you a background


Now for the issue:
I need to create a button on a form that will allow the users to browse the windows directory so that they can attach the file location and store it in the field named "Location_Field"

Any thoughts,Thanks

Have a look at the FileDialog:

In addition to what's been suggested, are you going to use Access to serve up the document? Is this doc management system going to track revision history, approvers, status, etc. much the same as an ISO type of system?
