How to load an external file

[Conor Pollock]

I want to be able to load an external file, but I want the load to look like
that of a microsoft program load (i.e. Notepad) If someone can email me on
how to do this, I would be a very happy person. Thanks.

This cannot be done in VB.

Just kidding. Look up Common Dialog control samples that come with VB and
also tons of them on the MS Knowledge base. Here is a quicky:

with CommonDialog1
.CancelError = true
on error resume next
.ShowOpen
if err = 0 then
'user selected a file
msgbox .FileName
else
'user pressed cancel
end if
end with
