I need to capture the full path and name for a file selected from the file
open dialog. I can get the dialog to display via the Dispaly option to
Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen) and determine that the user hit OK, but how/where
do I find the data on the file selected?

Thanks for you assistance.

John

John,

I once found something similiar on the Word MVP site, but don't
remember where:

Sub ScratchMacro()
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
If .Display <> 0 Then
MsgBox WordBasic.FilenameInfo(.Name, 1)
Else
MsgBox "No file selected"
End If
End With
End Sub
