Restrict the users to insert an object from a existing file only?

My table contains a field that is a bounded frame object.
I have a command button that users can click to insert any object they like. However, is there a way to restrict the users to insert an object only from a file rather than new..??

By default, a dialog comes up asking if you want to insert an object by "create new" or "create from file". I only want to allow users to "create from file". This will cause less confusions.

I want the user to determine the location and type of file he/she wants to attach. I want to open the option to the user.

Thank you very much, any help will be appreciated.

 
Why not have the button open up a Browse dialogue and have the go to their file that way for insertion?

That's I have, a dialog box pops up asking my users to choose between creating a new object or attach one from a file. I don't want my users to have this choice. I only want my users to attach an object from a file and they can choose the type of file and location where the file is.

Basically, I want don't that default dialog box, but instead another way to insert a file and choose the type and location of file.

Thank you in advance.
 
I know what field is coming up now, I meant the browse dialog, like when you click Start-->Run-->Browse. Take the user directly to explorer and bypass the Create from New/Create from File default. Joe Miller
