>>>>I'm trying to use a common dialog box to choose a directory. I want the user to be able to create directories as they are browsing and that is the reason I'm not just using the GetDir() function. I have use programs (ex. Macromedia Dreamweaver MX) that will pop up a common dialog box and allow to you select a directory without needing to choose a filename. How can I do this, I've look at all the common dialog help I could find. I'm using VFP6SP5 on WinXP Pro.

oShell = CREATEOBJECT("Shell.Application")
>>>oPath = oShell.BrowseForFolder(0, 'Title', 64, "C:\")

You'll get back an object reference that you'll have to parse. The Title property holds the name of the folder. You parse by going upward retrieving the ParentFolder object.

The function in the faq and the BrowseForFolder method do not give me a new folder button, or right-click rename/delete ablitily like the common dialog does. The only thing about the common dialog is I can't select just a directory, it makes me choose a filename.
