I am building a MS Access form. In one of the fields, I want the user to specify a file on the hard drive, to be used later. How do I set the field up to allow the user to browse through the folders of the hard drive, and select the desired file, so that the complete path name appears in the field, without the need for the user to type in the entire path name?
[In other words, I wish to implement in MS Access the equivalent of an input type=file in html.]
I have seen Ken Getz's solution (http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm), but, as I am a novice in MS Access, I don't know how to use it. Also, I wonder if it provides more functionality than I need. (I don't need the ability to open/save, just select a file.)
Since I am a novice in MS Access, solutions which are more detailed and assume very little will be most helpful. Thank you.
