Hi Bernie,

Same to you.

Got the same result as you. Obviously, any applications that are  
packages are also greyed to prevent selection in files$. This might  
require either a direct call to Navigation Services or some tinkering  
with Subs Files.incl (where files$ lives) since omission of the  
typelist parm does not provide the intended results (i.e. no types  
passed to files$, so all files should be shown). Clearly, Navigation  
services sees packages as special and not just another folder to be  
opened. I'll bow out of this thread now to someone (virtually  
everyone but me) who can actually give you some help.

Brian S.
