answer here is a code to call the browser and select a file you want to save as a pdf or dwf
public type browseinfo
howner as long
pidlroot as long
pszdisplayname as string
lpsztitle as string
ulflags as long
lpfn as long
lparam as long
iimage as long
end type
public const bif_returnonlyfsdirs = &h1
public const bif_dontgobelowdomain = &h2
public const bif_statustext = &h4
public const bif_returnfsancestors = &h8
public const bif_browseforcomputer = &h1000
public const bif_browseforprinter = &h2000
public const bif_newdialogstyle = &h40
declare function shgetpathfromidlist lib "shell32.dll" alias "shgetpathfromidlista" (byval pidl as long, byval pszpath as string) as long
declare function shbrowseforfolder lib "shell32.dll" alias "shbrowseforfoldera" (lpbrowseinfo as browseinfo) as long
public function getfolder(byval stitle as string) as string
dim binf as browseinfo
dim retval as long
dim pathid as long
dim retpath as string
dim offset as integer
binf.lpsztitle = stitle
binf.ulflags = bif_newdialogstyle
pathid = shbrowseforfolder(binf)
retpath = space$(512)
retval = shgetpathfromidlist(byval pathid, byval retpath)
if retval then
offset = instr(retpath, chr$(0))
getfolder = left$(retpath, offset - 1)
end if
end function

create a new module ex. modbrowser and put the code i provided on it
and add this line to your command_click
private sub commandbutton1_click()
txtpath.text = getfolder("select a folder or whatever you want to promp here")
end sub
