There's an article by Andrew Coates at http://www.civilsolutions.com.au/publications/getfolder.htm that shows how to use SHBrowseForFolder API.

Another way is to use the Shell.Application object

Declare integer GetActiveWindow in WIN32API
oShell = createobject("Shell.Application")
oFolder = oShell.BrowseForFolder(GetActiveWindow(), "Please Select folder", 0 )
? oFolder.Items.Item.Path
? oFolder.Items.Item.Name

There is an article by George Tasker in the July 2000 issue of the VFUG newsletter (www.vfug.org) about that.
