In Excel I always use the GetOpenFileName or GetSaveasFileName dialogs to ask for a location for a file. I want to use these dialogs in Access 97 also, but I cannot find the equivalent in the Access object library. I tried to set a reference to XL and then pull up the dialogs from there, but this seems to require a visible instance of Excel to be opened. Does anyone have any suggestions short of creating a form in Access that sets drives and the such. Thanks.
