Esparta,
Thanks a lot. Do you know how can I make GetDir to return UNC path instead of the actual drive name? I could not find all the flags for SHBrowseForFolder function in MSDN as Help file suggests, so I don't know if a flag exists.
Thanks a lot in advance.
After quick research on the topic I don't think there is a flag for that, though I didn't find SHLOBJ.h on my local drive.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
