Are you looking for a control already built or for means to build your own control(s)?

You could use a Tree Control (for Folders) and a Combo box (for Drives) inside an SLX form, load them with your drive/folder structure and then let the user select a folder from there.

Hi Raul,

Actually we are looking for a control already built...does there exist something like this?

Also, if we build a tree structure...how can we load it with drive/folder structure...bacause that structure would vary from system to system.

Thanks,
Richa

See some sample code below, read comments

Dim objFS
Dim objFL
Dim objDrives
Dim drive
Dim fl

Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objDrives = objFS.Drives
For Each drive In objDrives
'Load drives into a Combo box or as root items in the tree
wscript.Echo "Drive: " & drive.Path
On Error Resume Next 'Test if drive is accessible
Set objFL = objFS.GetFolder(drive.Path & "\")
for each fl in objFL.SubFolders
'Load name into tree as node
WScript.Echo fl.Name
'Check for Subfolders
'Probably better using a recursive function, this is just code for illustration of what can be done.
for each sfl in fl.SubFolders
'Load name into tree as subnode
WScript.Echo sfl.Name
Next
Next
Next
Set objDrives = Nothing
Set objFS = nothing

No need to go to all that trouble. See http://saleslogixblog.com/rfarley/archive/2007/08/08/37945.aspx for a way to invoke the standard Windows Browse for Folder dialog in SalesLogix.

Thanks Raul and Ryan for the inputs.

We've now used SLX Common Dialogue Library -> Open Dialogue, alongwith Microsoft Common Dialogue Control...and this seems to have solved our problem

But still thanks a lot for that useful piece of info.

Regards,
Richa.
