Hallo Tom, hallo Joost,

I had the same problem and solved it with this built-in (GET_FILE_NAME) in kombination with READ_IMAGE_FILE. But this built-in allows me just to select one file. But sometimes the user wishes to select more than one file at once.
Is there a solution for selecting more than one File in an directory and get an array of filenames back for prozessing in a loop? (Forms 6i, Server 8i, Plattform WinNT)

Let me know!
