Hi Brenda,

Yes u need to save default folder and reset it afterwards.
Here is my wrapper function handling this isuue.
Next to saving current folder it also lets u start search starting from particular path.

function svgetfile
    lparameters cPath,cExt
    local  sv_path,aa
    sv_path=allt(sys(5)) + allt(sys(2003))
    if directory(cPath)
        set default to (cPath)
    endif
    aa=getfile(iif(empty(cExt),'',cExt))
    set default to (sv_path)
    return aa
