I had been using the FileDialog object in a Word (2002)
add-in until a colleague running Word 2000 tried to use
it and got an error. I discovered that the FileDialog
object is available only in the Office 10.0 library.
Since I need to distribute this add-in to people whose
version of Office I won't be able to update, I want to do
without using the FileDialog object. But I can't seem to
find a filepicker type dialog otherwise. Does one exist?
Or will I need to create my own filepicker using a
userform?
I should note that I considered using Word's built-in
fileopen dialog as a workaround. But I don't need to open
the file that is picked. (The program simply needs to
take the fullname of the document that is picked and
assign that value to one of the activedocument's
variables.) I'd prefer to avoid that workaround if
possible.
Thanks for any guidance,
