How did you call opendialog?


How should I?


if opendialog.execute = true then


He should not. A Boolean is a Boolean is a Boolean is a Boolean,
no matter *how* often you compare it to True. Zero, one, infinity -
in this case one is a special case of infinity, and both are wrong.
Unfortunately, only one (no pun intended) is physically possible.

'C = True' is spelled 'C'.
'C = False' is spelled 'not C'.

Ok. I must be somewhat confused (something I'm COMPLETELY unfamiliar
with).

I always call
if OpenDialog.Execute then

Oh, but that's different than
if OpenDialog.Execute = TRUE then

But they say the same things, right? If the user hit cancel then
execute will return a FALSE which is different than TRUE resulting
in a FALSE statement.

Or are my eyes turning brown?
