    I'd be tempted to follow the spec - but as a "free of charge enhancement", put a button next to the TextBox to allow you to open the folder browser dialog, and once the user has chosen their folder, populate the TextBox with the result of the browser dialog .... and also use Stimbo's suggestion at post #6.

    Same situation. The common problem for all the methods cited is that the colon is recognized as a valid character for the path.

    And it IS valid. But only as the second character.

    And thanks, penguin. She's more likely to go for that than the other one!
