Hi Herman,
> Don't mock yourself though. It's just that you haven't found the way.. YET!
Thankfully I compensate for my pea brain by working 3x as hard. I haven't given up - I'm just going to try another strategy.
When I find the time to write a simplified GetFile/CommonDialog form, I'll post back with my results.
Thanks for the words of encouragement :) and for your help!
Malcolm
