masken,

here's a script (RC3) that calls the ms common dialog activex control for picking a filename, it can also be used for picking a printer and choosing a font ...

problem is - you need one of the ms visual studio development packages installed before you can use it - like vb or c++ ... I'm wondering if the vb runtimes would be enough ?

Give it a try anyway - if the object create fails, it will pump-out an @ERROR message ...

code:

break on

$Filename = OpenCommonDialog("All files (*.*)|*.*", "Open file", "c:\", "",0)

?"filename = " $Filename

exit

Function OpenCommonDialog($Filter,$Title,$Directory,$Extension,$FileMustExist)
 $OpenCommonDialog = "" 
 $Dialog = CreateObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog") 
 If @error = 0
  $Dialog.Filter = $Filter  
  $Dialog.DialogTitle = $Title
  $Dialog.InitDir = $Directory
  $Dialog.Extension = $Extention
  $Dialog.MaxFileSize = 128
  If $FileMustExist
    $Dialog.Flags = 4096
  EndIf
  $Dialog.ShowOpen()
  $OpenCommonDialog = $Dialog.Filename
 Else
  ?"ERROR @ERROR : @SERROR"
 EndIf
EndFunction
