There're also a few files in the download section that provide such functionality.


Thanks Sergey. Actually I'm currently using a file that I downloaded from the UT, but recently discovered a problem in Win98 with that particular code. (See thread#591621)

I considered trying to subclass the Common Dialog control, but as you pointed out (and I found out, after digging through it) that I can't use it for what I need.

Thanks again,
