Opening a standard 'File open' dialog box.

Hi,

I want to be able to open een file from within a form, so
I can open it for import using the TransferText command.

Is it possible to just call the standard open file dialog
box? If yes how, otherwise I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Look at Microsoft Knowledge Database article 303066, it
explains how to use the common dialog box in Access. I've
tried it and it works, looks pretty pro.
