Using OpenDiag for alternative purpose

[NoodNutt]

Hi there everyone

Firstly, apologies for X-Posting as I in-advertantly posted this in
<Queries>.

Essentially, as the subject title states, I setup the function that calls
the Open DiagBox, which works well, with the exception of including the
shell commands to execute the Image/Picture Viewer, which is not required as
the user will only be selecting his/her ".jpg files" for attaching to a
record...

What would be really handy is that the OpenDiagBox only open to the
specified folder that contain all images, then once the specific ".jpg file"
has been located/selected, the specified bound field on the Form would be
updated with the full path to the file.

like:

e:\Helios\Prime\Planetary Listing\Map Images\10000012.jpg

Any suggestions & comments welcome.

Once again, apologies for X-Post.

TIA

Cheers
Mark.
