browse and attach file

[Denise]

Is there a macro, field, or content control in Word 2007 that will allow the
user of a form to open the Browse window, select a file, and paste the
directory path of that file as a hyperlink into the form? InfoPath has a
control that does this, but I can't find one in Word.

Use

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
If .Display <> -1 Then
BrowseFile = ""
Else
BrowseFile = WordBasic.FileNameInfo$(.Name, 1)
End If
End With
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, _
Address:=BrowseFile

Thank you Doug. I was able to open a "browse" window and select a file, but
it did not insert the directory path into the form. Any other suggestions?

What sort of form is it? The code that I gave you inserts the hyperlink at
the location of the cursor in the active document.
