>>>Let me preface this with the following points:
>>>1. I have to use Visual FoxPro 6.0 (SP 5)
>>>2. I know GETDIR() in Visual FoxPro 7.0 has what I want
>>
>>>I would like to have a function (either User Defined Function, API call, ActiveX, wrapper, etc.) that I could use instead of the Visual FoxPro 6.0 GETDIR() function to retrieve a directory/folder path name that will allow the user to create a folder "on-the-fly" via the dialog box when necessary. I know that there is one in Windows (Copy/Move To displays this one). I just cannot seem to find the API name/call/define for it.

>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.

>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.
