>>>The Locfile() command returns a VFP error if you click CANCEL, instead of a null string or other "This didn't work" value. I *can* use Getfile(), although I would prefer Locfile() for a specific use. Any suggestions other than disabling our standard error handler before the call, trapping for this error and then re-enabling the error handler?

Thanks, Terry. I will take a look at COMDLG32, although at present I'm using GetFile() which does *most* of what I want.
