Provides file dialog box functionality similar to the functionality of the standard <ui>Open</ui> and <ui>Save</ui> dialog boxes found in Microsoft Office applications.

Methods

Name	Description
Execute	Carries out a user's action right after the Show method is invoked.
Show	Displays a file dialog box and returns a Long indicating whether the user pressed the Action button (-1) or the Cancel button (0). When you call the Show method, no more code executes until the user dismisses the file dialog box.
