You need to use the SHBrowseForFolder API call to do that. It's a little tricky, but luckily there are several code samples out there: PlanetSourceCode: http://shorl.com/fipykipopyfi (for some reason TinyURL isn't working right today. Had to use Shorl instead) CodeHound: http://www.codehound.com/vb/results/results.asp?Q=shbrowseforfolder -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of bkollodge at parkindustries.com Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 11:06 AM To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-VB] commondialog --------------Please open with care!------------ This message has bypassed some of our spam filtering rules.
