I am using SHBrowseForFolder to let the user select a destination folder,
but how do I call the new version of that dialog which also allows the
user-browser to create a new folder if the desired destination does not
exist?

I read that the new dialog can be called using the flag, BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE
in the BROWSEINFO section, like this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../browseinfo.asp

I'm close. . . Do I need to define, "Const BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE = 1" or
similar???

I have the line, BI.ulFlags = BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE in the Function GetFolder,
but this isn't working.

Must I (and how?) do I use CoInitializeEx??

Hi Brad,

Try this.... set a reference to the MS Office object
library and lookup help for FileDialog object.
