>>Sure thing, and I work with it this. If a command button is used to activate it, it's stored as a custom property of the command button. In order create a reference to it, oOpenDlg = CREATEOBJECT("MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1"). The upside to it is that you don't have to worry about versioning problems (always a consideration with ActiveX controls). The downside is that you lose the access to the properties dialog.

The constants are defined in the help file, under the Flags property for the SowOpen/ShowSaveAs method. Note however that the syntax has to be changed slightly.

Change: cdlOFNAllowMultiselect &H200

to

#DEFINE cdlOFNAllowMultiselect 0x200

I'd suggest you create a header file and include it.

No, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a property to control this.
