Hi All,

I think that mypath (or whatever variable you are expecting to contain the

returned path) needs to be initialized prior to the GETFILE call...

In the code below, make it look like:

private mypath

mypath = ''

mypath = GETFILE(...)

Perhaps your standalone application initializes mypath, and the application

doesn't?||
