Hi Sergey, your code works fine on my machine. Do you think all users will have the COMMDLG.DLL already installed as part of Windows?

>You can try Common Dialog Control.

oDlg = Createobject("GetFileEx")
>? oDlg.GetFile()
>
>DEFINE CLASS GetFileEx AS form
>	Left = 100   && Set Dialog Position by positioning the form
>	Top = 100    && Set Dialog Position
>	Name = "GetFIleEx"
>	DoCreate = .T.
>	Visible = .F.
>	cFileSelected = ""
>	lUserCancel = .F.
>	
>	ADD OBJECT oCDC AS OleControl WITH ;
>		OleClass = "MsComDlg.CommonDialog"
>
>	PROCEDURE oCDC.Init
>		This.CancelError = .T. 	
>	ENDPROC 	
>
>	PROCEDURE Error
>		LPARAMETERS nError, cMethod, nLine
>		IF nError = 1429
>			This.lUserCancel = .T.
>		ENDIF

>>In a very small executable I want to let the user choose an app. Then the app, containing a form, will be executed. The app is chosen with the help of GETFILE(). In that phase I don't want the main vfp-window, so I put SCREEN=OFF in the config.fpw. However, this also prevents the visibility of Getfile().
