Daniel,

From VFP6 you need to browse the shell namespace. You can do this in a number of ways depending on what you want to achieve.

1] Download the Shell Browsing ActiveX from the UT downloads section.

2] Use the Windows Scripting Host to get at the bits and pieces you need, for example an instance of the WScript.Network object will allow you enumarate your network drives and mappings in both a visual and non-visual way.

3] Use the code from Andrew Coates FoxTalk article (or his website below) to activate the shell namespace browser straight from VFP.

From VFP7 you can use the enhanced GetDir() command which will use the shell namespace browser instead of its own dialog. Again the downside to this is that it gives you an interface for selection not a data structure for creating your own GUI.

*!* Displays the SHBrowseForFolder dialog if more than 2 parameters
*!* are present.
? getdir("c:\", "Text", "Caption")

*!* Displays the enhanced Windows 2000 dialog if more than 3 parameters
*!* are present.
? getdir("c:\", "Text", "Caption", 64)
