I have an app. that has an options screen in it. In the options screen are textboxes that display a path name to the main database (access.mdb files).
I have a button beside these text boxes called Search. But I can't use the open dialog box to return just a directory path, it requires a filename. So I created my own screen with the folder, file, and drive controls.
The path I'm searching for may be on a network server, and the network is not available in the drive control without mapping a drive.
I want to return a unc: \\Server1\Path1\Path2.

What can I do?? Is there another control or API I can use??

Thanks..
Gary
