Steve,

Here's are a couple of examples that use the FILEDIALOG function.

btnFdlgWORDinput and btnFdlgWORDoutput are push button controls.
txtWORDinput and txtWORDoutput are text entry controls.  The FILEDIALOG
function is for external files.  Use OPENSASFILEDIALOG and
SAVESASFILEDIALOG functions for SAS files.

The filedialog appears when the user pushes the respective push button.
If the user makes a selection from the dialog, the selection appears in
the text entry control.  The user can also enter

-Randy

btnFdlgWORDinput:
if rbxInputFiles.selectedItem=:'S' then
  rc=filedialog('OPEN',fileSelection,'','','*.doc');
else rc=filedialog('AGGREGATE',fileSelection,'','');
if fileSelection ne ' ' then txtWORDinput.text=fileSelection;
return;


btnFdlgWORDoutput:
fileSelection=' ';
if rbxOutputFiles.selectedItem=:'M' then
  rc=filedialog('AGGREGATE',fileSelection);
else  rc=filedialog('SAVEAS',fileSelection,'','','*.rtf');
if fileSelection ne ' ' then txtWORDoutput.text=fileSelection;
return;

SAS-L:

Tired of the trial and error method, so I'll ask for some direction.  I
want to create a SAS/AF frame with a text entry field for file path.
The user could choose to type in the full path or click on a 'Browse'
button that would allow them to click through to the folder of choice
and have that final folder path be automatically written into the text
entry field.  Seems like it should be easy, but everything I've tried
has failed miserably.  I'm also interested in the same sort of thing
where the final result is a folder/file, but I'm assuming that would
follow pretty simply after the other request is answered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm just learning AF so be
gentle.

Thanks.

Steve
