How to display and to use the File dialog box in Microsoft Access
SUMMARY
This article discusses how to use the new FileDialog method in Microsoft
Access to display the built-in File dialog box and to determine the files
that the user selects.
Note The FileDialog method works only in the full retail version of
Microsoft Access. This method does not work in a Microsoft Access run-time
application.
MORE INFORMATION
In earlier versions of Microsoft Access, you may display the file dialog
box by using either the Microsoft Common Dialog ActiveX control or by
making calls to the Windows API.
By using the FileDialog method in Microsoft Office Access 2003, you can
display the File dialog box that is used by Microsoft Access and to
determine the files that the user selects. The SelectedItems collection of
the FileDialog object contains the paths to the files that are selected by
the user. By using a For-Each loop, you can enumerate this collection and
then display each file. The following example loops through the
ItemsSelected collection and then displays files in the list box.
