Is this a text file? You may be able to use the common file dialog to get the name and then a Shell command to open it in Notepad (or your specific text editor).<br />
<br />
Don't have manuals...do you have the help files? Also, what version of VB?

<div>
This is version VB 6.0<br />
The help files are slow massive and confusing, but I checked there first and could not find help that would walk me through my dll.<br />
I probably am looking for the common file dialog. &nbsp;The program will read and process the file. &nbsp;All I need is the dll, syntax, and what it returns.

My app accesses a file. &nbsp;I would like the user to be able to modify the file, by either typing it into a textbox, or pushing a &quot;Browse...&quot; button. &nbsp;The button should call the dll that many Microsoft applications use to allow you specify which file to open.<br />

What is the name of this dll, what parms do I provide it and what does it return? &nbsp;(I have no manuals for this info.)

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
