limitations of getfile()

[beedubau]

With chr length of 254 it seems difficult to allow a user to see and select ANY extensions that may be pertinent.

eg GETFILE("JPG","BMP","GIF","TIF","PCX","PNG","Image Files")

isn't allowed.

I need to allow

Audio files
Video files

as well in a separate getfile() and the same thing occurs.

I can filter after a file is chosen but that isn't as user friendly.


Is there any way around this?

Regards

Bryan

Bryan,

I think this will do what you want:

GETFILE("Image Files:JPG,BMP,GIF,TIF,PCX,PNG")

Or have I misundersood the question?

Mike
