What do you ABSOLUTELY have to provide your users to be able to do?
A folder-picker might be a better solution (like those with IE
favorites). If the file name is consistent and you don't want to
give them an option of what to DO with the file - just ick a folder
for the output or input, for example, then it's probably the perfect
solution.

Dig around on http://vbnet.mvps.org/ in the Common Dialogs section
of the Code Library for ideas.
