>>>Hi,

>>>When I specify the first parameter to the GetFile() function as "DOC,PDF,XLS" all works well. The GetFile window shows the Type as "*.DOC,*.PDF,*.XLS" But if I include in the parameter string "JPG" and/or "GIF" (e.g. ".DOC,PDF,XLS,GIF,JPG") the GetFile window shows only JPG or GIF as the type of file.

I see that the behavior is completely different if a comma is substituted by a semicolon, e.g.:
? GETFILE("ini;gif;jpg;txt")In this case, it will only show files of the first type (INI in the example), but give you options to select the other file types. I don't like this, either: I would prefer to list all files of the specified types, perhaps with an option of seeing only a specified subset (like JPG, in the example).
