ok here is a way to do it:

Set up the gui
1. Tools -> Forms -> Design This Form
2. Show the control toolbar using Form -> Control Toolbar
3. Create a button somewhereon the form by dragging the button from the control toolbar or whatever method you choose. The button is probably called CommandButton1.
4. Add a microsoft common dialog control to the control toolbar by right clicking on the control toolbar, check the box on custom controls -> Available Controls -> Microsoft Common Dialog Control. click OK. There should now be a new funny icon on the control toolbar with tooltip text saying CommonDialog.
5. Add the Common Dialog Control to your form by dragging the icon to your form. You can put it anywhere because it won't be visible. The Common Dialog is probably called CommonDialog1

Add the VBScript:
1. click on Form -> View Code
2. copy and paste this:
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Get the page
Set myPage = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Add("General")
'Get the control
Set myControl = myPage.Controls("CommonDialog1")
'Show the Save Control
With myControl
.ShowSave
End With
End Sub

3. Close the script editor and Run!

Hope this helps
