>When using GETFILE(), I know it's possible to submit a list of extensions as a parameter, which show up as the file types. However, there does not appear to be a way to provide a description of what the extension means. VFP has built-in recognition for PRG, DBF, and other extensions, and displays "Program" instead of just "PRG", for example. Unless there is a way to provide the descriptions with the extensions, is there a way to otherwise inform VFP what the descriptions are? In this way, a file type of "101" could be shown instead as "Vocational Rehabilitation form RU-101".
