Neat! +1

Code: (Select All)

target$ = _OpenFileDialog$("Pick a folder and a file.", "")

dir$ = Mid$(target$, 1, _InStrRev(target$, "\"))

file$ = Mid$(target$, Len(dir$) + 1)

Print dir$

Print file$

find$ = _OpenFileDialog$("Look, here's your file!", file$)

Shell _DontWait "explorer /select, " + dir$ + file$

So now I see I can get the file info and use it locate itself, similar to how we used to do it in the SHELL example, with one exception, it does not highlight the file in the menu, instead it places the file name in the dialog open box.

Thanks!

Oh, BTW: I stared programming in BASIC in 1981. TI 4A. When 4K was all anybody would ever need!
