I have searched the forum and found references to similar requests and they make mention of the Windows Script Host Object Model, which may do what I want, but before I go off and start researching WSHOM I wanted to know if there was a better solution to this problem or if anyone knows if this is even possible with WSHOM.
I have a field on a form that contains a directory path entered in by the user. Right now that user has to manually type in the path. I would like to have an option next to the field that launches Explorer or a 'File-Open' type dialog box where they search for the path they want, and when they find it select the path and have the path value pasted back into the field on the form.
Is there any way to do this in Nav 5?
Thanks,
Keaton

Yes there is a way, take a look at codeunit 412 and you can use it. Or if you have Developer Studio 2005 installed, you can also use the Common dialog OCX and use the method "ShowOpen". You need Developer Studio to be able to compile your object. It might complain about not having a developer license when developer studio is not installed.

Automation and OCx is fine but upgrades new users etc: can be a problem
