Open File Dialog Box question EASY!!

[badhaiku]

When my file open dialog box opens, i want it to only display the files of default filter type. For instance, filter is set for dbf files so i only want to see dbf files in the box. How do i do this?

thanks in advance

Here you go:

CommonDialog1.Filter = "DBF (*.dbf)|*.dbf"

Matthew, Don't use COMMDIALOGS.

They take up a TON of MEMORY!!!

VBWorld has a GREAT tutoral about using API, so .

That's what he's using though. Is he not?

Hmm...

I guess it is.

CommonDialog1.Filter = "Database Files (*.dbf)|*.dbf"

is a good idea if that is what he is using.
