I had this problem once... This might help you (from the helpfile):

@WorkingDir is changed on successful return.

If that's not your problem then you're probably manipulating the returned string wrong or not adding possibilities of an @error...

please post your code

My current code is very big, but i post a little example of my problem

$testFile = FileOpenDialog("What file?","23","(*.*)",1,"")
        ConsoleWrite("File Path: "&$testFile&@CRLF)
        FileClose($testFile)
        ConsoleWrite("anyfile.txt Exists: " & FileExists(@ScriptDir&"\anyfile.txt") &@CRLF)
        $testFile2 = FileOpen("anyfile.txt",0)
        ConsoleWrite("anyfile.txt Contains: " & $testFile2 & @CRLF &"Error = "&  @Error & @CRLF)
        FileClose($testFile2)

and my the data posted

File Path: C:\IniBrain.ini
anyfile.txt Exists: 1
anyfile.txt Contains: -1
Error = 0
>Exit code: 0   Time: 2.431

$testFile2 = -1 means the FileOpen() failed, most likely because you didn't provide the full path as in FileExists(). Try it with this:

$testFile2 = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\anyfile.txt",0)

P.S. Even if FileOpen() works, it returns the handle to the open file, not the data in the file. Your "anyfile.txt Contains:" implies you have that confused.

its not only that that doesnt work.. the file things was just a fast example.. just took the first file things that open a file in any way

i this is all kind of problems.. All File* or Ini* or GUI* things get messed up, its like i cant return things from windows anymore

Sigh...

So, lets reset and try this again from the top: Please post a short reproducer script that actually runs and actually produces the symptoms.

Without that, there is nothing to talk about.

my script do reproduce the symptoms..for me. have you tried the script?? just make a anyfile.txt in the same folder as the script then open what ever file you want (exept the andfile.txt) with the dialog. If it works for you then its a problem with my computor
