Thanks for the lead Sergey. I haven't tried it yet but I did try the following:

oDialog = CREATEOBJECT("MsComDlg.CommonDialog")
oDialog.flags = "&H80806"
oDialog.dialogtitle = "This is a test"
oDialog.showsave

The last line produced an error as follows:

"Error: 1429 OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from CommonDialog. The common dialog function failed during initialization. This error often occurs when insufficient memory is available...in line 0".

Do you have any idea what I did wrong?

Mike.
