How do I get the fileOpenDialog to show?
K I figured the first part, getting it come up. I used:

openFileDialog1->ShowDialog();

Now when I select a file How do I get the directory location of the file to be assigned to textBox1->Text?
Can't.... resist.... temptation!

What language is this?
CLR

I have already figured it out. WebJose, I can read those pages, they have never made sense to me. But Someone on SteamPowered helped me.

Thanks anyway

	 saveFileDialog1->ShowDialog();
	 textBox4->Text = saveFileDialog1->FileName;
Glad to hear you got it solved. I would be good, though, if you made an effort to understand these pages as they are out right the single most comprehensive information out there on the Windows API and the like. You cannot simply walk away from them if you are to program anything for Windows.

Keep it up! I love those little "can't resist" posts of yours. -:)
