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 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).

I agree with you. I will take out the GIF and JPG from the parameter string. And the user will be able to select All types and select any file, if they need to.
