>>>Anyway to get a default FileName already typed in for this user so he doesn't have to pick one if he would just like to select the default one I gave? (like LOCFILE does)? I can't use LOCFILE as that will pick the file if in fact it does exist.

>It is a little unusual why I would like this and its not a deal breaker if I just continue to use GETFILE as I have used something like GETFILE() for a couple decades. I allow users to modify 100% of all reports and when the list of the default reports appear through GETFILE() it would be a nice to have the one already in the typed box. I don't force this report to be selected, as they might wish to select a different report to make the modification from. Then, they save the report to a special folder which can be selected and used in the future (I never allow them to actually save the default report I shipped).

I would create my own form or class for this, with a grid for all the relevant files, and make sure that the file in question is highlighted. Just a suggestion.
