Opening the 'Browse For File' Dialog

[Brian]

Hey Everyone,
What I'm trying to do is have the user click a button, load
a 'browse for file' dialog, and then add the name to an
underlying table. I read somewhere that you can use the
good ole "Microsoft Common Control" control or s/th along
those lines. When I goto use it I get errors about not
having proper licensing or things not being registered,
etc. Did some more digging and it seems I need to have the
Office Developer's Edition, which I do not have here at
work, just the normal version. So.....I guess I need to
access the standard Windows API for doing what I need to
do. But, I have no clue how to do this. I found some src
code somewhere and played w/ it, but I only was able to get
a 'Browse for Folder' dialog. I need to get specific
files. If anyone has any clue how to do any of the dialog
box stuff, etc if would greatly be appreciated if you
helped Thanks,
Brian
