I am building an application and want to build an interface where the user can use an "explorer" type GUI to select where they want their data to be stored.

Any ideas? I am a complete novice so put it in plain english if you can!

thanks

Search Access VBA Help for FileDialog object for syntax and examples of how to use Windows' standard dialog boxes - this may give you what you're after.

Alternatively, you may wish to explore TreeView and ListBox controls if you want to mimic an Explorer-style interface in you app.
 
Thanks for the tip. On the treadmill right now reading your response and did a quick search in Access VBA. FileDialog looks like it will do the trick. I will try today at work and see how it goes. Thanks again!
