File list box vs common Dialog

[Zbob]

I am working on a report viewer using the file list box to select the report, which works except it does not follow a shortcut file to the target. I have also tryed the common diaglog control which does follow the shortcut.

My dilema is that I want to restrict the directory which the user select reports by not allowing any file browsing. This seems like the file list box does very simply, is there a way to follow shortucts (lnk) using this method.

Thanks,

Zbob

if right(chosen_file,4) = ".lnk" then
get path from lnk file to use as file name in your code
end if
Something along these lines possibly?
