While it is true the the SHBrowseForFile API function is a suitable substitute for GETDIR() in VFP7, it does not work on all computers. Please examine the version number for your copy of SHELL32.DLL. If the version is not 5.0 or better, you will not see the additional functionality (i.e. New Folder). Windows NT for example only has version 4.0 or 4.7x and will not display the New Folder button.

Have a super day.
