>I'm looking for a function that will allow me to browse the network neighborhood and select a share name. I've downloaded focus and looked at the Fil_BrowserForFolder function. This function displays all folders under the share selected. I need a function that only shows the available shares (ignoring subdirectories which do not have specific share names assigned to them).

If you're using systems that have Shell version 4.71 or later, there's an Enhanced GetDir() example in the FAQ that i wrote using the Shell.Application automation object that can reach anything in Network Neighborhood. Bela Bodecs has also written an FLL that provides access to a GETDIR-style dialog that allows network access as well.

Under VFP6, the ANETRESOURCES() function can return the list of shares as well, and in my NETRSC.ZIP file, there's an example program showing how to use the NETRESOURCE class to find all available shares on the network using a few API calls.
