Hi Kamal,

I had only heard a little news on the release of the kit. I opened it up and did a quick search for GetDir() and the following note is in the VB.Net source:
'Displays a dialog box that allows to select a directory. Please note that
'this is not fully implemented as currently it asks the user to select a
'file and then extracts the directory part from it.

Before I spend the time to hook it all up into my project, it looks like it won't work already. The directory my user will select will not have any files in it. If this is the case please let me know since you know much more about the true functionality.

I look forward to checking out the rest of the kit, you did a lot of work on it and I'm going to pass the info around the office on it today.

Thanks !!!
Jace

The user will NOT have a file to select, I need them to select a directory where files will eventually go.
