   Hello all,   
      
   XPsp3   
      
   I have the need to select a file, and found "BrowseFolFolder" should be able   
   to do it.   
      
   The problem is that no matter the path or the file selected, all I get is a   
   "The system cannot find the file specified" error.   
      
   The stripped-down example :   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   
   Set shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")   
   call shell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a file:", &H4000, "c:\")   
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   I do not see what might be going wrong here.  Help ?   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser
