    Frustrated Beginner ! Browse Dialog Box

    Good evening all,

    Microsoft is really starting to annoy me as a new user. I am trying to
    convert my code from VBA (A very user friendly laguage with generally
    good help files) to Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic (A poorly documented
    language).

    I am unable to find help for Visual Basic that tells me how to show the
    Browse Files/Folders dialog box in this system; help shows me 50,000,001
    different articles but none of them relate to me, I have found
    information on openfiledialogb ox, putfile and all manner of other
    commands that work in things from C++ to articles written in 1999 but
    nothing to help me now.

    Does anyone know how to use the Browse Dialog Box in this system that
    MSDN tells me is possible but won't show me how (Reference:
    ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80. en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio .v80.en/dv_vsproj
    opt/html/5035b5ba-e0e7-4198-92ef-003109202a8e.ht m)

    Also does anyone know how to limit help so it only relates to the
    language and function you are using ? I have deselected all other
    languages but still commands are returned that do not work on in Visual
    Basic 2005.

    At this stage I am really regretting trying to move over to this new
    package. VBA is 100% more usable for a beginner.

    Sorry for the level of frustration but I have been struggling with this
    Help problem for the last three weeks.

    Yours sincerely,

    William Foster
