This doesn't work. Note that I mentioned that I've tried surrounding the path with quotes within the variable. Nevertheless, I tried doing it exactly as you suggested. Neither of your suggestions work.

Looking at this link

http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?function=138

it indicates the directory parameter should be "Address of a null-terminated string that specifies the default directory." So, it appears when you hard code a path, you get the proper address and the string is null terminated, but when you use a variable you don't? Does this give a clue?
