Hi treasure,

how do you make it? If you are in the folder which you want then select "choose folder". If you do it, then you get what you want. Don´t choose a folder and press select. You have to be in the folder which you want!

Did you select "File or Folder" for the file dialog?

and

Did you click on the Current Folder button when selecting the folder?

hello,

i select the folder first and then i select current folder. i get the path but it is not include the folder name. i get like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop , actually i want is C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Station1. I need to get the file list from the station1 and i need to retrive the data from one of this file list. User need to choose only which station they want to open. After they choose the station folder, i need to retrive the data from download text file based on the folder name. So i need to get the folder path included with folder name.

Treasure,

Try navigating inside station1 (i.e. double click station1 to enter it), THEN choose current folder...

2and4 is correct.  You need to go into the desired folder, then select it.  Not by highlighting it one level up, because you will end up selecting that upper level instead.

So browse to inside satation 1 and then select the current folder.  Because "current folder" actually means the folder that you are actively browsing.
