I'm trying to use the activex common dialog Open File dialog. Specifically I'd like to set the initial directory, but it doesn't seem to work:

loComDialog = newobject("mscomdlg.commondialog")
loComDialog.InitialDir = "c:\projects"
loComDialog.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt|Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat"
loComDialog.FilterIndex = 2
loComDialog.MaxFileSize = 260 
loComDialog.ShowOpen()
lcFileName = loComDialog.FileName
MESSAGEBOX(lcFileName)

The folder c:\projects exists. Anyone know what's wrong?
