David,

We didn't implement the BrowseForFolder dialog because it's already accessible through the Shell object. Using Immed, you can do:

Set s = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
print s.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select a Folder", 0)

Aaron,
I was looking for a similar feature, the other day. Did I overlook something, or is it so, that there is a CommonFileDialog, but no dialog for choosing a folder? I.e, If an app has the feature of letting the user choose which folder to save his stuff in, is there a predefined dialog in the WEScripting environment, to accomplish this. Since I didn't seem to find any such, I had to use a set of Object definitions in the general VBS environment, to accomplish the thing. If I am correct, there is no such feature in WE at the moment, could we have a Function added, that would return the folder (object or actual name), upon the user having chosen it in the dialog?
Hope my explanation made sense.

    Jeff,

    Take a look at Script.CommonFileDialog.

    Can somebody give me the correct name for this and point me to
    the documentation---and/or a good example.
