    Is there a Choose File dialog box method in VBA?


    I used to have a control called 'MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1' which I could use to prompt the user for a file/path name. Unfortunately my latest PC revision destroyed the source of that control so it no longer works. Does anyone know of a VBA command, addon or dll reference I could use instead?

    Never mind that it references mdb, still works.
