I have the OFFICE11 object library checked in the references but still am not
able to use common dialog box objects.
Below are all the references my applicatio is using:
VBA: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6.DLL
Access: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACC.OLB
stdole: C:\WINDOWS\system32\stdole2.tlb
ADODB: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado21.tlb

Which library am I missing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dan

Which common dialogs are you using? Generally, you're better off
avoiding all reference problems by calling the Windows API directly.
See the code at

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

and

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm
BrowseFolder Dialog

as well as other articles in the API section of that site, for API code
and examples.
