Can you use the common dialog box in VB to pick path names rather than files? If not, how would I do this so the user can (easily) pick one in an explorer-like style?
Yes, quite easily. But rather than tell you how, I'll tell you that the example is documented in MSDN several times, and on nearly every decent VB programming site that deals with the Windows API.
Your assignment is to find one of those articles and post the URL as a reply here, so others can benefit from your search. Have fun and we hope to see your reply soon.

Well done. +1 to you.
That was pretty easy finding the answer huh? Now you're free to do nearly anything because nearly all the answers are out there!
