Entering a path in a text box

#1

I'm developing a front end for one of our internal apps that populates
a simple table of 4 or 5 columns. One of the columns is to contain a
destination path for another process to copy files to on a daily
basis.

I can, of course, have a textbox and have the user enter a path of

\\server\share\directory\directory\directory

But the path can be quite long. Is there a better way to create an
interface for the user than having them type in the path name?

#2

if they are common shared directories, then you could enumerate the server
for its shares and present them in a listbox
