I want to programatically open the Access "File" "Open" browse box to search
for a file. When it is selected I wnat to have it put the path in a text
box so it can be added to a list box.

Best approach is to use the API call. Details: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
It can look a little intimidating if you are not used to API calls, but it's
basically copy the code and call the function.
You mentioned the path: if you just wanted to browse for a folder, use this
one instead: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm

Allen,
Thanks for the tips. I tried the browse folders and it works good. But
I need to get to the actual file name so will try the other (API) one.
I have never worked with them so I guess it is time to get my feet wet.
I will let you know how I make out.
Thanks again,
Dave.

Allen,
I'm just beginning with programming in Access 2000 and i can't get the
API call http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to work. I don't
have problems with the browse function (.../api0002.htm).
Can you help me by explaning what to do step by step or send an
example *.mdb file.
Thanx,
Rob

Be sure to include the declarations in a standard module (i.e. on that shows
on the Modules tab of the Database window, not the module of some form).
Not sure what else to suggest.

Hi,
My goal is to detect all (or most) file dependencies of a script (i.e.
modules, dlls, data files). Currently, after a script is finished
executing I use sys.modules to determine all module dependencies, and I
use win32process.EnumProcessModules to determine DLL dependencies. This
works reasonably well, however I would still like to detect dependencies
from regular file open calls.
I did a little test by modifying __builtins__.open...
