I have a browse window open and what I want to do is pull the selected file name (or file path including file name) and dispay it in a text box. Pretty much simulating how it works already. I'm just tryin to create my own operation. Does anyone know how I would do that?

Thank you

Excel can do this, so as long as you have Excel installed we can borrow the function to use in PowerPoint.



Dim AppExcel As Object
Dim Path As String

Set AppExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Path = AppExcel.GetOpenFilename("PowerPoint Files (*.ppt), *.ppt")
MsgBox Path
AppExcel.Quit

Set AppExcel = Nothing
