Hi George,

No I'm developing on both a Win2KPro and WinME machine. Everything in the enhanced GETDIR() (using the shell) works fine on those machines. I had a client call me back (who uses Win98) and reported that the uppermost level that they could access was 'My Computer', rather than 'Desktop'. (On our machines, we have access all the way up to 'Desktop'). I had to dust off my laptop, which is the only machine here with Win98 on it, and was able to duplicate the problem. (The laptop IS connected to our network, so I ruled out that being a problem.)

Any ideas are appreciated.
