Windows folder browse

[charles]

I want to call up the Windows Explorer to let the user browse the folders on his computer. How do I do this? I don't want to use Dbase's getfile() because of some limitations. How do I call up windows browse folders?

What version of dBASE are you working with?
Do you want any control over what happens after Windows Explorer opens? I
would assume yes

Try this:

run(true, 'explorer ' + _dbWinhome + 'Bin')

You can apply some switches too.
RUN(TRUE, "explorer.exe /n,/e, Z:\Data")
