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.
