fileselectfolder alternative?

[gcue]

I am trying to use FileSelectFolder to allow the user to type in a UNC path.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support it (even with the flags).

Is there an alternative?

Thanks in advance.

MsgBox(0,"",FileSelectFolder("Tets","C:\",4))

That seemed to work fine...

You can't necessarily browse to it, but if you type it in the edit box it works.

What in particular did you mean by 'doesn't support it' ?

hmmm i get a blank msgbox back...

I do not...

what is the path you're typing in to the edit box?

(using v3.3.0.0 btw)

Edit: Although i do see -

Fixed #659: Documented that UNC paths are not supported when using FileSelectFolder().

and it does say that in the help file...Maybe mines just a fluke that it works... (I'm also using Server 2008...maybe it's an API bug they fixed?)

Edit2: Humm, also there's this- http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/XBrowseForFolder.aspx

im using v3.2.12.1

does the path need to be valid? im not at work so i can test a valid unc path.

also this is what im typing:

\\d0029232\c$\eservice materials

The path does need to be valid, when I type in something that isn't I get a blank string like you do and @error is set to 1.
