This shows you how to do 32-bit common dialogs without DLLs or OCXs (vbAccelerator is an excellent site).

Thanks for the link. I might go that route.

What would really be awesome is if there were some sort of "generic reverse thunk" mechanism so that I could call the 32-bit dialogs from my 16-bit program, have it return the strings, then call the 32-bit function to pull the short file name versions of those strings.

Then I could use short file names internally to my program, but have dialogs that showed the long file names properly.

I wonder if such a mechanism exists?
