File Dialog Box is not working in Access 2003

Hi Experts,
I build one application using Access 2003, and used File Dialog box to open and select the Text file for import purpose. This browse button is working fine on my machine but when i deployed the application on client machine which also Access 2003. Browse button is not working.

I even try to use custom function written by one MVP-ACCESS. which works on my machine but not on client machine.

whats wrong with that machine..... any help

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

shanesuebsahakarn,

Thanks for your quick Answer, I am not sure if the both function are same, but i took that code long time ago, and forgot the source. but yes, that function use to work in Access 97 and now its working Access 2003 too. but its not working on Client's computer.

We both using windows 2000 professional and Access 2003. I can't understand why File dialog box is not working when i am using built in commondialog ....do i need to check any library for that....

what am i missing here... ....

shanesuebsahakarn

Does it give any errors or does it simply not work? Have you tried changing the debug mode? (VBA editor, Tools->Options->General->Break on all errors).

one more thing...

I checked both machine have Reference to

Microsoft common Dialog control 6.0 (SP3)

is there another library i need to reference to call microsoft built-in file dialog box......

shanesuebsahakarn

No, that reference is only relevant if you are using the common dialog ActiveX control (the FileDialog object and the API code don't use this).
