I'm sure we can help, but you need to give us a bit more info on what areas you need help with.

And, what version of VB are you using?

Hi
I need your help in areas like how to call the Open, Save dialogue boxes. I am using Vb 6.

Add the Microsoft Common Dialog Control to your project. You should be able to find the details in the online help.

The attached sample demonstrates how simple it is to use this control to invoke the standard Windows file-open dialogue (one statement). That's all this sample does, though - it won't do anything with the file that you select - not even "open" it. You'll want to play around with the properties of the control.

I can't guarantee the sample will work on your system, of course. For one thing, you may have a different (or no) version of the common dialog control.

Hi
I dont have the Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6 in my Vb components. Can I download it from anywhere? or can you please suggest me a site for the download.

I think it comes with VB. Maybe you can re-run the setup and add the various tools. Um... it might depend which edition. I have VB6 Professional Edition. I think the "Profession al" means all the development tools like ActiveX controls come with it.

You might try Microsoft's website.
