Uh, you really have no control over what view comes up in the browser. That's based on the user's settings of the system I believe, so it will vary...

And you can still navigate off by using the folders to navigate up the tree...

I'm not sure if that's really buying you anything over using GetFile()... certainly it's a non-standard way to display a file selection dialog to a user <g>...

>I need a thumbnail or icon view of documents in a particular directory, that is tied to a record in the DB. This directory is where scanned legal documents are located. I need the users to only see the documents pertaining to this record. Each record has it's own documents directory. This way, no matter what format the document is in, and the format will be different in every case, the user simply needs to double click the icon to view it, print it, etc.
