Ok further to last week I have been trying to find the problem with my inherited app. The api call works fine on windows98 and when taken to windows XP machines does not work. It throws no errors just does not open the Windows Open Save dialog box. The code is word for word to the Getz API call but when the XP machine reaches the If OpenFile Then fResult = adh_apiGetOpenFileName(OFN) Else fResult = adh_apiGetSaveFileName(OFN) End If It does not open the dialogue box. Running the same code side by side on the win98 machine I get the popup box every time. I have run a reference checker and it says all references are OK. The code is below if that helps.
