FileDialog Object Members - PowerPoint - Microsoft Office

Provides file dialog box functionality similar to the functionality of the standard Open and Save 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. In the case of Open and SaveAs dialog boxes, use the Execute method right after the Show method to carry out the user's action.
