Simple file attachment

How can I provide a dialog box for a user to select a local file attachment
(with just the path to the file stored as a text string in the field in my
db). Is there an ActiveX control I should use to allow the user to select
the file attachment, or is there another approach I should use.

Thx,
Mike
