Get_File_name is Forms 5 only, which is a pity, but the d2kutil library works well, didn't give me any problems. Heres a snippet which might help   v_file_chosen varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
  v_file_chosen := win_api_dialog.Open_File('Choose File', 'C:\',

                     'Word Documents (*.doc)|*.doc|',
                     TRUE, WIN_API.OFN_FLAG_DEFAULT, FALSE);

  IF length(v_file_chosen) > 0 THEN
    v_file_picked := TRUE;
etc.....
