Hello,
There ae two options one is to made yourself nd is the old one.
The second one is the new one and you have seen it when you click open button a open box shows.

For the first option.

Add a Drive List Box
Add a Dir List Box
Add a File List Box

Now write the following code

Private Sub Drive1_Change()

Dir1.Path = Drive1.Drive

End Sub

Private Sub Dir1_Change()

File1.Path = Dir1.Path

End Sub

For the second Option

Add control Microsoft Common Dialogue Control 6 from components

Add CommonDialog1
Add a Command1

write the following code

Private Sub Command1_Click()

dim a as string

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

a=CommonDialog1.FileName  ' Saves the filename and path of file you have selected.

End Sub

GOODLUCK
