Thanks,

something had just struck me about your reference to NOT running under Windows 95, according to the documentation (and we know how accurate that can be <g>) for the BrowseForFolder method, the minimum operating systems are Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Explorer 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0. Since I know that all of my users have IE 5.0 or greater (probably 5.5) - wouldn't it work for them???? Or was it the "add folder" button that didn't work on Win95?

Thanks,
James

>>I had played a bit with both bits of code. But with the reference to not being able to work on Win95, then I'm sunk. Over half my users are still running Win95 (and since we work for the State of TN, that won't change overnight). After looking at a few things, I'm tempted to write my own. Or just use GETDIR() and if they chose to cancel, prompt if they wish to create a folder or actually cancel the process.

Currently, I am copying the contents of their DATA sub-folder (in the application directory) to a sub-folder called BACKUP. Then I realized they needed to have a choice in the matter (dangerous stuff, choices & end-users <g>). Hence, looking for a way to "GetDir" with the ability to create a new folder.
