Macro/DialogBox/UserForm?

[Sharon]

I have searched macros, dialog boxes and user forms but can't seem to find
exactly what I need.

Basically, I want to create a macro that will
stop,
open a directory,
let you choose the directory name,
and then open a dialog box(?)/userform(?) where you can type in the document
you need,
choose "OK"
and it will close the dialog box/user form and insert the document into the
active document.

I believe that the following command does everything that you want:

Dialogs(wdDialogInsertFile).Show

This is great! However, I would like to know if it can go one step further.
Is it possible to direct it to a particular directory? For instance, this
opens to the "My documents", but can you code it so that it opens to a
particular network directory i.e., \\networkdir\corporate\patents\? Then I
would like to select the file to insert from that directory?

Is it possible to direct it to a particular directory?

Try using
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "\\networkdir\corporate\patents\"
Application.Dialogs(wdDialogInsertFile).Show
