 Display Dialog to find file name & path

How do I use a dialog box to find a file?

I have tried  several things. I have tried wdDialogFileFind. I can not seem
to get the path and file name that I chose. If I use wdDialogFileOpen I can
get the name and path of the file, but then word opens the file. I do not
want word to open it. I want to do some searching of the text and insert
certain things found in that file via code.

Thank, you

Ok du.
I figured it out. Use the Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Display method instead
of .Show

For any other newbies out there I used this line of code to get the full
path and file name.
    Set FileDLG = Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)

    With FileDLG
        .Name = "*.txt"
        If .Display = -1 Then
            MsgBox WordBasic.FileNameInfo$(.Name, 1)
        End If
    End With
