Which Active X control allows you to select files 1

[Mack2]

What is the name of the Active X control that allows you to browse, and then select a file? It is the menu item off of the File > Open menu's.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I added the object to the form, and it is a small box. Is this the correct one? THANKS!

The FileDialog object is something you use in VBA code, not as a form's object.
Any chance you could elaborate on what you want you do ?

Within an access form, the users need to open an adobe file on the network(a purchase order). So one person needs to "attach" that adobe file to a record. So the users can click a button and view the adobe file.

I do not want the user to type in the name of the file, I would like the main user to browse to the file on the network, and attach it that way.

Hope this helps. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!
