[RESOLVED]Sharing Violation after choosing file in CommonDialog

[BenFinkel]

I have a common dialog control that I use to let the user choose a File.

Once the user has double-clicked the file in the ShowOpen dialog (or clicked it and clicked 'Open'), the parent folder of that file is locked out.

When I try to rename the folder I get the error message:

There has been a Sharing Violation

When I try to rename that folder's parent folder, I get the error message:

Access Denied

Further more, when the application stops running, these folders are still locked out! It isn't until the VB IDE shuts down that the folders are released again.

I tried setting the CommonDialog.FileName = "" to release the folder, but that doesn't change anything. Also, I have set the flags = &H4000


Any ideas?

Thanks!

So I found it.

Turns out the CommonDialog changes the current processess' Current Directory. I just had to call the SetCurrentDirectory API to change it back to something else to fix the problem.
