Hi im currently designing an application...

I want to know how to load a file from some other locaiton which can be chosen, but when i load it. it saves the file location onto a Menu.

Is this possible?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in Advance

Hi, and welcome..

This might help you abit:

Code: Select all

a$ = OpenFileRequester("Title","","*.*",0) 
If a$ <> ""
  Debug GetPathPart(a$)
Else
  Debug "Cancelled"
EndIf

Getting the debug string onto a Menu shouldn't much harder..
Why don't you try it, and see if you can get it to work?!?

Okay works... Thanks!!

what about this...

When I Close it. It saves this information so when i reopen it i can run the location without having to select it.

Can you use a Preference file? These are like .ini files, and are really easy to save into and read.
