Private Const BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS = &H8
Private Const BIF_EDITBOX = &H10
Private Const BIF_VALIDATE = &H20
Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER = &H1000
Private Const BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER = &H2000
Private Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES = &H4000

Private Const MAX_PATH = 260

Private Type T_BROWSEINFO
    HwndOwner      As Long
    pIDLRoot      As Long
    pszDisplayName As Long
    lpszTitle      As Long
    ulFlags        As Long
    lpfnCallback  As Long
    lParam        As Long
    iImage        As Long
End Type

Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" _
        (lpbi As T_BROWSEINFO) As Long

Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32" _
        (ByVal pidList As Long, _
        ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Private Declare Function lstrcat Lib "kernel32" Alias "lstrcatA" _
        (ByVal lpString1 As String, ByVal _
        lpString2 As String) As Long

Public Function BrowseFolder(ByVal HwndOwner As Long, ByRef Titre As String) As String

    Dim lpIDList As Long
    Dim sBuffer As String
    Dim BrowseInfo As T_BROWSEINFO

    BrowseFolder = ""

        .HwndOwner = HwndOwner
        .lpszTitle = lstrcat(Titre, "")
        .ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS
    End With

    lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(BrowseInfo)

    If (lpIDList) Then
        sBuffer = Space(MAX_PATH)
        SHGetPathFromIDList lpIDList, sBuffer
        sBuffer = Left(sBuffer, InStr(sBuffer, vbNullChar) - 1)
        BrowseFolder = sBuffer

I'm not going to be too much help. Your code works perfectly for me. This is how I used it:

        BrowseFolder = sBuffer
    End If
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strString As String
strString = BrowseFolder(Me.hWnd, "A Title")
Text1.Text = strString
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = ""
End Sub

Runing under XP SP2 but that shouldn't make a difference

It works fine for me as well.

I have solve this program, the error is I put this in the command button. Text1.Text = strString & "\"

Perhaps you should think about why you've put it there in the first place and if removing it isn't reintroducing an old problem. ;)
