Re: FolderBrowserDialog causes a program END statement to hang

Ok. Problem solved. Are you ready for this??? I rebooted and then it
worked. No, I'm not running Win98, I am running XP. So I guess I was a
little spoiled by it's general reliability that it took me a whole day to do
what I would have done in 5 seconds if I was running Win98. I rebooted....
Oh, boy.

Thanks to those who took the time to try and duplicate this... I wanted to
share my (embarrassing) solution with you as a gentle reminder that
sometimes, even with XP, a little reboot can go a long way...
