>I am having the funniest thing happening. I call a GETFILE() function, and I get a wierd version of it, one that does not allow me to change the display to "details", but just shows the icon view. Does anyone know what can be done about this?

Bob,

AFAIK, the GETFILE() is a wrapper around Windows common controls Open dialog. Do you have the same problem with other non-VFP applications that use Open dialog?
