 opening a browse or file open dialog

I'm trying to figure out how I can display Windows' standard File Open
dialog from VBScript? Is this possible using only VBScript. I'm going to
be using the Window's Scripting Host, so HTML-derived solutions may not
work (e.g. <INPUT=FILE>.

Thanks,
Jay

 opening a browse or file open dialog
Try this:
set dialog=CreateObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog")

dialog.Filter="All Files (*.*) | *.*"
dialog.DialogTitle="This is the title"
dialog.InitDir="C:\"
' Now show the dialog
dialog.ShowOpen

For a Save dialog:
dialog.FileName="\test.txt"
dialog.ShowSave

Its from the newspaper c'T, 10/1999.
In this issue are a lot of script examples. Look at http://www.heise.de/ct
