Application.FileDialog has been removed from A2007 <shrug>

Here's a replacement:

The followlign shoud work:

Dim f As FileDialog
Set f = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
f.Show
MsgBox "file choose was " & f.SelectedItems(1)

You can late bind if you wish:

above needs: Microsoft Object 11.0 Object library

If you remove the reference to the 11.0 object library, then the following
code will work without any references:


Dim f As Object
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
f.AllowMultiSelect = True
f.Show

MsgBox "file choosen = " & f.SelectedItems.Count

I thought everyone always suggested to use the code (I think Ken Getz) wrote
it, I think it's on "the Access web". That way you don't need an extra
reference to something that might not be installed. There are versions for
single file selection and multiple file selection. I know I replaced my use
of filedialog with it.
