Thank you for all you suggestions.

This is how I got it to work. I have been using Borland's 
TOpenSaveDialog class. I notice in your code you use the API 
"GetOpenFileName" call. I tried using this call and things work! It 
appears the Borland class does not access the latest dialogs. Is this a 
common problem with Borland?

When I use the Windows API I do not need to define WINVER or the 
_WIN32_WINNT.

Thanks for all the help (and the code)
