Active X Control using as windows explorer

[ldog]

I have created an activeX control on a form for the user to use as
'windows explorer' to search for the correct file to import. I have
been trying to find something whether it be another active x control
or just a function in a text box to display the actual full directory
name (i.e. C:\my files\usethis.txt) as the user clicks thru. Is this
possible?

Instead of creating an activeX for selecting files use the built in
standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box. You can find information
on it here.
