[kitnba]

In putfile(), I can define what file type to save with the user, but can I disable the file name text box?

I don't want user to mis input the file name, and only want him to choice the different only .

how can I do that ? or others command?

Pls help .

Thanks

I do not believe you can disable the All Files option with either PUTFILE(), GETFILE() or LOCFILE()

You could errortrap the result with:-

lcFile = GETFILE([DBF],[Browse DBF],[Browse],1,[Browse a DBF])
IF UPPE(JUSTEXT(lcFile)) # [DBF]
[tab]MESSAGEBOX...
ELSE
[tab]* code
ENDIF

You might have to right your own dialog box. Use ADIR() and the list control perhaps... it would be a real pain though. You can probably find a freeware one out there.. Perhaps at

Have you tried the GetDir() function? David W. Grewe

Hi kitnba,

If you use the MS Common Dialog ActiveX control, this is suppose to be an option. Just set the Flags property to cdlOFNFileMustExist (4096). It should display a warning to the user if they input a file that does not exist on disk.

Refer to the CommonDialog control in the VB help or search the MSDN for more info. Jon Hawkins

For some VFP oriented documentation on the MS Common Dialog (and other MS ActiveX controls), go to

http://www.stonefield.com/

- Doug Hennig's site. Click on Technical Papers, and get "Using Visual FoxPro ActiveX Controls (118K)" - it's got documentation and sample code.
