Frustrated Beginner ! Browse Dialog BoxMicrosoft is really starting to annoy me as a new user. I am trying to convert my code from VBA (A very user friendly laguage with generally good help files) to Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic (A poorly documented language). I am unable to find help for Visual Basic that tells me how to show the Browse Files/Folders dialog box in this system; help shows me 50,000,001 different articles but none of them relate to me, I have found information on openfiledialogbox, putfile and all manner of other commands that work in things from C++ to articles written in 1999 but nothing to help me now. Does anyone know how to use the Browse Dialog Box in this system that MSDN tells me is possible but won't show me how (Reference: ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_vsproj opt/html/5035b5ba-e0e7-4198-92ef-003109202a8e.htm) Also does anyone know how to limit help so it only relates to the language and function you are using ? I have deselected all other languages but still commands are returned that do not work on in Visual Basic 2005. At this stage I am really regretting trying to move over to this new package. VBA is 100% more usable for a beginner. Sorry for the level of frustration but I have been struggling with this Help problem for the last three weeks.
