>I am having trouble getting the VFP getdir() dialog to behave properly when running under a newer version of Win XP (won't respond when a new drive is selected). I would like to use the common control instead, but I have never done this before. Can you get me pointed in the right direction - where is the control, what name, how to included in my project, etc. Thanks in advance.

Besides the link Sergey gave you there is a good sample of the common dialogs in VFP itself.

Open the Component Gallery from the menu or with "do (_gallery)" and look under Foundation Classes (FFC)|Dialogs. It's in _system.vcx
