Re: Access 2000
Has anyone been able to find information in the online help on the
topic of "Common Dialog Control?
If so, what did you type in your search to receive the information?
I've been typing in lots and lots of different keywords, all to no
avail.
I was needing assistance setting up a common dialog control in my app.
I got the help I needed, but wanted to toss this to the group at large
to see if I was missing something here.
Thanks,

You'll find that the general consensus on Access 2000 help is that is
basically worthless.
Also, there are a lot of issues to consider when using the common dialog
control ... most have abandoned it in favor of the very simple and easy to
use code module at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to distribute the
common dialog OCX.. Instead use the common dialog API calls as documented at the
Access Web at www.mvps.org/access or at "ACC97: How to Use the Common Dialog API in
an Access Database" [Q303066] at the Knowledge Base at support.microso ft.com.

If you mean within the Access Help files, there isn't much. I have however
come across a common opinon (I kind of share it) that it's better to use the
API. You'll need to distribute the Common Dialog Controls where as code
using API does not require any extra files.

Tony,
Thanks for the code tip here. I will try it in the next day or two

I need to add a checkbox to the common dialog control for
opening files.
I know it is possible to customize the common dialog thru API.
But the sample codes I have seen were too long and elaborate.
One was for adding a preview pane for images to show thumbnails.
All I want is a simple checkbox. Heck, I will settle for the built-in
"open as read only" checkbox if I could just change its caption.

Before distributing a database that I have developed, I thought that I

Perhaps a couple of tips regarding API calls using a function module
and I will be on my way to retiring the bug prone Common Dialogs
Controls.
One Common Dialog that I have been using is shown below and has worked
fine. I'm have been using it to copy a few queries in HTML format to
disk. So the main point is how to properly referenced an OutputTo
action when using an API function call. So what should precede the
