PRB: Cannot Select the Desktop Folder with the GETDIR() DialogID: Q147342 3.00b MACINTOSH kbother kbprb The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIn the dialog box displayed when the GETDIR() function is called, you cannot select the Desktop folder or the Macintosh HD because they do not appear in the list of folders. On the Windows platform, the GETDIR() dialog box allows you to select the root directory. Cross platform applications may thus behave differently.
CAUSEThe dialog box displayed with GETDIR() is a standard Macintosh system dialog box and behaves as designed.
RESOLUTION1. Select Desktop from the dropdown list. 2. In the list that displays the folders, click a blank space on the list. 3. Click Select.
STATUSThis behavior is by design. Additional reference words: 3.00b VFoxMac Xplatform cross platorm KBCategory: kbother kbprb KBSubcategory: FxotherGeneral
