>I was curious if anyone knows how to make sure that the common dialog box opens in the middle of the screen. I got it to work and can set all kinds of properties, but I was not able to control where it appears on the screen. MSDN has an example for VB, and it says to use .Top and .Left properties which are not available in FoxPro. Any thoughts?

It seems that the position of the dialogs is always relative to the upper left corner of the form on which the control is placed. You might try placing the control on a form and manipulating the form's post position.

Alternatively, there's is an unsupported COM wrapper for calls to the Common Dialog DLL. The various forms all have a Center property that allows the caller to specify if the dialog is to be centered. See MESSAGE#658015 for details.
