Thanks for commenting. What you suggest doesn't quite work on my Word 6.0c but I manage to make it work. It isn't quite what I want to do though. I don't want to open the file, just want the user to select it and the dialog should leave me the name (and path) of the file to use as a mailing list in our mail-program. Preferably, I would like this browse-operation INSIDE another custom dialog but, since I think this isn't possible, I'd settle for a way to retrieve the filename without Word trying to open it.<br />
<br />
Any solutions?<br />

I am programming a WordBasic macro for Word 6.0c. In there, I display a custom dialog box to ask the user different options. One of the options is the file name (and path) of a mailing list to where the document has to be send at the end of the macro. Is it possible to provide the user with the 'browse' style to go and look for this filename within the macro dialog?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
