From a macro i do want to open a filedialog. In the Help i can find a example: 'Declare a variable as a FileDialog object. Dim fd As FileDialog 'Create a FileDialog object as a File Picker dialog box. Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) The last line gives in outlook an error. But in Excel it works fine. Why? Is there an alternative for Outlook. Regards, Peter
