I agree that when you have an Open dialog with a specific purpose such as GETPICT(), it'd be nice to default to the Thumbnail view. However, I'm not sure that's possible (have to check API). File an ER; it's not a bad idea if that's where you're going with this.

I see this question asked, so I'm wondering, if there is a way to programmatically switch to Thumbnail view and then back again to original view?

Thanks in advance.
