Can you use VFP's GETPICT()? It brings up a dialog for images
and returns back the selected file, if any, which you could import.
If you need multiple file capability, I'd use GETDIR() to let them
locate the folder and suck all the file names into a mover dialog
and let them "move" the files to be imported. You capture the
file names moved and import.
I've had problems in the past with the Windows Common Dialog,
not with VFP, but with VB and other tools.
