I did but to no avail. I even disconnected from the mapped drive and still a problem. Strange is that right before the "GetFile()" code I check the current folder and it is the right folder. And after the GetFile() the program still looks at the right folder. But GetFile() opens the window in a "wrong" folder. Strange.
