    Use the DirListBox control.

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Dir1_Change()

    2. File1.Path = Dir1.Path

    3. End Sub

    You might want to use a drive box control as well, in case the user has the file in a different drive than the application.
    If, somehow, I help you, please rate the post using the scales icon in the left bar <---- .

    Re: browse directory

    The DirListBox control is an old style control from VB3. It works, but BrowseForFolder looks a lot more modern (and includes drives in the same control).
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
