    Arrow Common Dialog Box doesn't show up

    In Excel, I tried to add a Common DIalog Box (to select files).
    In Design Mode, I opened a new User Form and added a Commom DIalog Box.
    In code, I entered the name of the Dialog Box and added : .ShowOpen
    I tried to degub (F8) the code. The Dialog Box doesn't appear.


    PHP Code: 
     Option Explicit
    Private Sub frmChoose_load()   'This is the Form on which I loaded the Common Dialog Box

    cdbFileChoose.ShowOpen     '
    This is the Common Dialog Box I wish to see


    End Sub

    Why do you want the Common Dialog box/ Can't you use the standard controls like a textbox?
    Hope that helps.

    Text Box did work!

    Text Box does work! Thanks
    I still wonder if there is a way the Common Dialog Box can be used. But now it became a secondary issue.
    Thanks.

    many of the additional controls available can be difficult to work with and/or cause problems because they are not available on all computers.
