However, this would be easy for a single directory, but it would take some extra work to get the ease you have with getfile(), to select other directories. Just as it is tricky with getfile() to block this feature <g>. Depending on your needs, this might not be worth the trouble.

Thank you for your suggestions, Hilmar. This issue with GetFile() is not so critical for me; so I will just leave the JPG and GIF options out of the parameter string. Maybe VFPT will fix it in VFP10 :)
