Bob - Thanks for that code - I will have a play

Tom - Thanks for the MSM link - I must have read every other piece of text
to do with the getopenfile api but missed that one somehow (the ones I found
were not that useful)

Hi All,

Can you use the Shell32.dll to generate a box to select a file?

I need to create a select file box in powerpoint (powerpoint does not
offer
the same functioanlity as excel) and am struggling to find any relevent
resources either on the web or in the Powerpoint forum - thought you guys
may have a better idea?

Ta

Andy
