I am having a problem with GETDIR and I can't figure out what is going on. GETDIR is returning a numeric (1) but if I SET STEP ON before the call to GETDIR it returns the correct character string. Also, if I run the GETDIR command two times in a row, one after another, the first one returns a numeric and the second one returns a character. I have tried retyping the code and that didn't make a difference. The code is basically:

LOCAL lcpath

lcpath = GETDIR("X:\RESELLER\", "Locate Images")

I have read the archived messages on this topic and would prefer not to use an OCX. I am also having problems getting the SelDirDlg Function from the downloads to work like I need to. It will not let me select a directory on another drive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
