I do this in VBA:

Dim dbsCRPR As Database
Dim VntDatabaseFile As Variant
Const glrcFilter As String = "Access Database,*.mdb;" & _
    "*.mda,All files,*.*"
Const glrcTitle As String = "Select Peer Review Database"

'Display a dialog box
OpenDBDialog:
VntDatabaseFile = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
    FileFilter:=glrcFilter, _
    FilterIndex:=0, _
    Title:=glrcTitle, _
    MultiSelect:=False)

'Make sure the user chose a database
If VarType(VntDatabaseFile) <> vbString Then GoTo OpenDBDialog

'Open the database
Set dbsCRPR = _
    DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(VntDatabaseFile, True, False)
