I'm wanting to create an import control for a user to simplify how they import a CSV file into RBase. Basically I want a button on my form that when clicked will bring up a file browser dialog allowing the user to navigate to the CSV on their local computer. The idea would be that this returns the DOS path and location of the file they ultimately select... C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\somefile.csv ...then I can use that string with the existing GATEWAY IMPORT command to import the file directly from their computer, saving them from having to place the file in a static location with a static filename. Is there a simple command that will do this that I'm overlooking? Matthew Burke Pioneer Bank - IT Department Computer Systems Technician 505-627-4415
