I have a similar solution to the above and it works for opening, saving, file selecting. I paste it into its own module and use in all the Access DB's I create. As the code states it requires Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library. Just another option I suppose:
Public Function Select_File(InitPath, ActionType, FileType)
' Requires reference to Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library.
Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
Dim varFile As Variant
If ActionType = "FilePicker" Then
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
' Set up the File Dialog.
End If
If ActionType = "SaveAs" Then
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
End If
If ActionType = "Open" Then
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
End If
With fDialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
' Disallow user to make multiple selections in dialog box
.Title = "Please specify the file to save/open..."
' Set the title of the dialog box.
If ActionType <> "SaveAs" Then
.Filters.Clear
' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
.Filters.Add FileType, "*." & FileType
End If
.InitialFileName = InitPath
' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
' user picked a file. If the .Show method returns
' False, the user clicked Cancel.
If .Show = True Then
'Loop through each file selected and add it to our list box.
For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
'return the subroutine value as the file path & name selected
Select_File = varFile
Next
End If
End With
End Function
