Entering a path in a text box

[Larry Bud]

I'm developing a front end for one of our internal apps that populates
a simple table of 4 or 5 columns. One of the columns is to contain a
destination path for another process to copy files to on a daily
basis.

I can, of course, have a textbox and have the user enter a path of

\\server\share\directory\directory\directory

But the path can be quite long. Is there a better way to create an
interface for the user than having them type in the path name?

if they are common shared directories, then you could enumerate the server
for its shares and present them in a listbox
