I am trying to set up a utility in which I need to browse the computer,
find a file and then return the name and path to access. I cant seem to
find anyway to open up a windows file browse box. ANy ideas?

AxtiveX Common Dialog Control. It should be a part of your ActiveX list.

Try NOT to use ActiveX Common Dialog Control, use API call instead (much
quicker, does not bloat your application like ActiveX controls and you
don't have to worry about distributing the contol). Refer to
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm , http://www.allapi.net/ or
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/shell/shshortcutcheat.htm
for API hints and tips.
