'Use a With...End With block to reference the FileDialog object.
With fd
'Change the text on the button.
.ButtonName = "Archive"
'Use the Show method to display the File Picker dialog box and return the user's action.
'If the user presses the button...
If .Show = -1 Then

'vrtSelectedItem is aString that contains the path of each selected item.
'You can use any file I/O functions that you want to work with this path.
'This example displays the path in a message box.
MsgBox "Selected item's path: " & vrtSelectedItem
