Dim FolderBrowserDialog1 As New FolderBrowserDialog
' Then use the following code to create the Dialog window
' Change the .SelectedPath property to the default location
With FolderBrowserDialog1
' Desktop is the root folder in the dialog.
.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop
' Select the C:\Windows directory on entry.
.SelectedPath = "c:\windows"
' Prompt the user with a custom message.
.Description = "Select the source directory"
If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

This snippet looks exactly like what I believe I need. But, when I paste it into Access and run the code I get a compile error on the DIM statement "User Defined Type Not Defined." Am I missing something? Tx, Jim

This was not designed to run in Access, it is a Visual Basic .NET snippet.
