On some Access applications I have seen a Browse button.
When clicked, it brings up a variation of the File Open
dialog box.

I would like to incorporate a similar button into an app
I'm writing rather than have the user type a path and
filename.

I am assuming that the click event for the button calls
a Windows API with parms for Title Bar text and such.

I don't know what to search on to find more info.
Browse is obviously too vague.

Any keywords or links appreciated.

look at

Call Windows File Open/Save Dialog box
How to allow the user to select a file by calling the standard Windows File
Open/Save dialog

Call Windows Browse for Folder Dialog box

Retrieve the folder name that the user selected by calling the standard
Browse folder dialog

Thanks again Jeanette,
Looks like option 2 is what I need.
