    commondialog.flags

    on my win98 system, using vb6, if the commondialog.flags contains 512 to allow for multiple file selection in showopen, the showopen dialog box reverts to a win3.2 version with the 8.3 filenames. undoing flag 512 allows for a win98 version, alas with only single file functionality. what gives?

    That will happen if you won't specify cdlOFNExplorer flag:
    VB Code:
    1. With CommonDialog1

    2.     .Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNExplorer

    3.     .ShowOpen

    4. End With

    I've run into this problem before too. Fix:

    VB Code:
    1. CD.Flags = cdlOFNExplorer Or cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNHideReadOnly

    Note: cdlOFNHideReadOnly is not required.
