Timothy,

You can use the MS Common Dialog, and get the same dialog that is used elsewhere in Windows apps. See Thread #495437 Message #495505 for sample code; you will have to make a couple of syntax corrections to it because of recent changes at UT (> --> change to the greater than symbol, && --> change to &&)

Look at the filter line...it is what you have to change for your requirement.

>Greetings, I am employing the getfile to display the dialogue for a user to select files of type DBF. However I want to restrict the list so that only dbf files beginning with 02 show up. For example 02025vs.dbf. Is there a way or does the user have to manually type this?
