By chance I have found that OpenFileDialog will indeed find files in "My
Documents"

Example :

My Documents\mj10777.de.eu\
*.sdf files here are found

What is NOT found is when there is another Directory under this :

My Documents\mj10777.de.eu\MainFrame\
*.sdf files here are not found

I had the empression that for "My Documents" (as in Registry and "Program
Files") a "My_Company\My_Application" logic was desired.
For my normal programs this is no problem since I use this logic for the
connetion string and SqlCe finds the desired Database.

The NetDbExplorer was desiged to open any non-protected Database and works
for the first Branch inside "MyDocuments" and all Directory on the Storage
Card - but cannot be used since Open/SaveFileDialog does not seems to like
the "My_Company\My_Application" logic.

Any ideas?

OpenFileDialog only works on the first layer of subfolders under My
Documents - this is a design decision specific to Pocket PC and has been the
case with the common dialogs including DocList on all versions of the
platform.
