Code a Macro for File Open Dialog Box

We're using Word 2003 on Widows XP. Is there a way to
write VB code to just open the File-Open (Ctl-O) dialog
box and not specify another subdirectory or an actual
file to open? And if so, does anyone know how to write
the code?

I want to be able to jump quickly from directory to
directory on the network by writing different macros and
assigning them to keystrokes. For example, I can change
the default directory by using:
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "W:\1\"
But then I also want the macro to actually pull up the
Open File dialog box so I can pick a sub-directory but
not a specific file.

Is this possible? Any help is very much appreciated.

Use the BrowseForFolder API call. There's example code here, amongst other
places: http://www.developerfusion.com/show/2127/

Thanks for the starting place. It's going to take me a
bit to wade through this code, but hopefully I'm on the
right track now.
