Using the Open File Dialog box for importing tables.

Help me please?

I'm have users import tables from other Access Database in one of the
process needed to use my ADB. To do this the user opens a form with a
field for the file directory and another field for the Access database
name. I would like to replace this with a Open file Dialog box. Could
you please share with me the best way or the easiest way to accomplish
this task.

Thanks for you time!
