Is there an Access control that behaves like a standard File Browser dialog,
like when you want to upload a document to an email etc.?

I have a field in my database which holds absolute paths to documents, and
I'll be using a hyperlink to display the data, so people can just click on
the link to open the file in its native application. But I'd also like for
people to be able to be able to populate the field by browsing to the
document on the network and after selecting it, its path gets stored in the
DB.

Is there such a control available? Maybe ActiveX? This is an Access 2000
application.

Thanks.

No control, but this is usually just as good:
