I need some help writing the code that will allow the end user to select the directory path and the file to run some code on.

There should already be an object in VB that handles directory and file navigation. Add that and it will handle it for you and return the path and filename that the user selected.

It is roughly used the same way regardless of which version of vb you are using.
