Dialog Filter

[Anonymous]

I have made a dialog box that allows file selection, however, the filter I have is set up for iam files, how can I change this to work for iam AND ipt files.
Thanks.

Dim oFileDlg As FileDialog
Call ThisApplication.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg) ' Define the filter to select part and assembly files or any file.
oFileDlg.filter = "Inventor Assembly Files (*.iam)|*.iam" ' Define the part and assembly files filter to be the default filter.

Sounds like you have made exactly what the example in help shows. This will also give you the dropdown so you can select any file if you want. oFileDlg.Filter = "Inventor Files (*.iam;*.ipt)|*.iam;*.ipt|All Files (*.*)|*.*" In the future you may find more information or responses by posting future VBA related questions in the following discussion group: Web http://discussion.autodesk.com/forum.jspa?forumID=120 Newsreader news://discussion.autodesk.com/autodesk.inventor.customization "chaseling" wrote in message news:24967376.1082587834571.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum2.autodesk.com... > I have made a dialog box that allows file selection, however, the filter I have is set up for iam files, how can I change this to work for iam AND ipt files. > Thanks.

Wrong forum, I know, but a quick VBA fer dummies question: How do you turn these code fragments into something you can load, and how do you load them? Save as *.ivb, and run from there? Documentation's a little vague on the basic basics. TIA. "Kent Keller" wrote in message news:4086fdd4$1_1@newsprd01... > Sounds like you have made exactly what the example in help shows.
