iamtheky Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) is _FilegetProperty not returning anything for your directory choice? I can add the checks at each step along the way, but I am more curious now as to what blows it up on your end. **If I push cancel on the fileselectfolder screen I throw that error, I'll take care of that...in my use it is a hardcoded path.
