Keep in mind, you don't use the common dialogue control to open, read or write a file. It is merely used to choose a file (or files). Once that has been done, then you perform the appropriate action.

Selecting a file to read is almost the same as opening it to write. You just use slightly different parameters - for example, you won't want an "overwrite? " prompt if the user chooses an existing file. More likely you would want to use the file-must-exist flag.

And I think the method to use is ShowOpen, rather than ShowSave.

Also, as I said before, it's better to paste your code rather than typing it in. Not only is it quicker and easier, but it saves others here from trying to run mis-typed code while trying to help. (Example: I've never heard of the DialogTitel property.)
