As pointed out, this is a newsgroup for VB .NET, not VB 6.0, but here you
go:

I assume you mean a CommonDialog control, right? A CDC has a "FileName"
property that returns a string containing the entire path of the selected
file.

>Also, i need to use that string in form B.so how to retain the value of
>that

Then declare the variable that is going to hold the file path as public in a
public module that loads before your forms do.

The CommonDialog control is called that because it provides 6 different
dialogs via just one control (Open, Save As, Print, Color, Font, Help).
Since the difference between the Open and the Save As dialogs are minimal,
the same "FileName" property works in both places.

This loop will grab each char (one at a time) and squeez a space in between
them.

Dim s As String
s = "scott"
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(s)
Label1.Caption = Label1.Caption & Mid(s, i, 1) & " "
Next i
