This is an example that is supposed to work in VB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175512/en-us
After spending a couple of hours downloading and installing VB Express
2008
after someone told me it was easy, the thing doesn't work any better.
These two instruction lines are not functional
3. Place a Common Dialog control on the form.
4. From the Insert menu, select Module to add a single code module to the
project.
There is no Common Dialog (or CommonDialog) control in the toolbox to put
on the form. There is no Insert menu, although Add Module appears on the
Project menu item.
I don't need this code to work and for VB to work (I hate the excessive
and inconvenient complexity and bad organization of VB) I just want a
small
program that will work directly under windows, browse a file list and give
the exact, correct short (8.3 form) file name for that file.
