    I think I have the same question.  I have a parameter set-up to specify the path to a source file; there are several files that have the same structure but various data and locations.  Currently, when I run to open the template (ok, the dupicate that Windows makes for me), the parameter dialog box appears and prompts me to enter the path.  I would like to BROWSE to the path, with a Browse button.

    I think this question is marked as having a solution, but it does not.
