File Open/Save dialog in Access 2000 running on Win98, Win2K and WinXP

Krishi #1 / 3	File Open/Save dialog in Access 2000 running on Win98, Win2K and WinXP Hi, I have an Access 2000 application that uses the GetOpenFileName dialog API. When running on a Win98 machine, the application functions correctly, and the dialog box is displayed. When running on Win2K or WinXP, the dialog box is not displayed at all, and no errors occur. From what research I've done, I know that the OPENFILENAME type definition needs to be modified to include three new fields added in Win2K/WinXP, and that the StructSize field must be set differently depending on which opperating system the application is current running on. I've made these two changes, but haven't had any luck getting the dialog box to be displayed. Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong, or what I've missed out? Many thanks in advance.
