I'm trying to create a button that opens up a file dialog, then lets you select a image to copy into a folder with the database. I've been working with this code but I'm stuck at the filecopy command, I can't seem to format it correctly. I use the pathway of the database plus a few folders then finally a combo box to select the specific folder to create the pathway (so that it doesn't break if the database is moved, and the combo box sorts the images based on category). Here's the code I've been using. Thanks guys.
Private Sub Command156_Click()
Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim varFile As Variant
' Set up the File Dialog. '
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.InitialFileName = [Application].[CurrentProject].[Path]
With fDialog
' Allow user to make multiple selections in dialog box '
.AllowMultiSelect = False
' Set the title of the dialog box. '
.Title = "Please select a Image"
' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.'
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"
' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the '
' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns '
' False, the user clicked Cancel. '
If .Show = True Then
filecopy([.SelectedItems],[GetDBPath] & "\Images\Equipment\" & Combo153)
Else
End If
End With
End Sub
I have answered this question here but I'll repost for you
Here is a concept
You may need to make changes and you must require the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library for FileDialog to work. Much of the FileDialog code was taken from Microsoft.
