Hello,

I have a table that hold various variable so to say for the environment
of my application.

What I am trying to do is allow the user to set a standard directory as
to where images may be stored.

So, I was going to provide a button the user clicks and then it would
give something like the MS Windows open files dialog. The user can then
browse to their desired directory. That directory information/location
would then be stored in my table to be used elsewhere.

Thanks,
Fred
