I'm sorry, I know that this is very basic, but I'm totally lost with this one. How can I do a standard file dialog to choose a file and get back the result in a variable. Please be kind and explicit. I have the same question for directories. Thanks. Cheers -Emmanuel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Emmanuel M.
