If the target systems are known to have at least Shell version 4.71 on them, you might want to look at using the Shell.Application object's BrowseForFolders methodn as a starting point. there's an example in the FAQ that I wrote for an enhanced GetDir using Shell.Application; you can get BrowseForFolders to return files as well using some of the parameters documented there. You also might want to investigate the Common Dialogs, which includes a getfile equivalent. You laos might look at the latest version of Bela Bodec's BBGETDIR.OCX, which might have similar functionality in it; I haven't looked at it in a while, but it's a great GetDir replacement, and he's probably got what you're looking for...
