Here's an example for the "Open" box:

On Error GoTo CancelSelected

'Sets the filters for file types

CMDialog1.Filter = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"

'Picks the filter to show when the box first opens

CMDialog1.FilterIndex = 1

'Shows in the filename box and sets the pattern

CMDialog1.Filename = "*.txt"

'Causes an error if the user picks cancel so that you know for a fact cancel was selected

CMDialog1.CancelError = True

'Opens the box

CMDialog1.Action = 1

Once the user selects a file, it can be gotten using:

FileName = CMDialog1.FileName

For a "Save" box, add the following line somewhere before the"CMDialog1.Action" line:

CMDialog1.DefaultExt = "TRT"

and set CMDialog1.Action to 2.

Again, the filename is gotten by:

FileName = CMDialog1.FileName

I don't remember the printer box code and my help files say the commondialog topics can't be found.

To save a file (there are MANY ways, this is just one):

Open FileName For Output As 1

Print #1, TextToSave

Close

To open a file (again, MANY ways):

Open FileName For Input As 1

TextToGet = Input(LOF(1), 1)

Close

To print a ASCII (standard text) file (MANY ways, again):

After getting the file's contents using a method such as the one above:

Printer.Print TextToGet

Printer.EndDoc

For more info, search in the help files for:

Input

Printer

Hope this helps!
