Common Dialog Problem w/XP?

I have an MDE application that automatically looks for the data file in the application directory. If it can't find it there, it brings up an explorer interface for the user to specify which file to use (i.e. a shared network file). This has worked wonderfully until yesterday.

My client has a remote site that has XP Home & the common dialog doesn't seem to be working. The application seems to skip right over the file selection. The only (obvious) difference is that this may be the first XP workstation attempting to use my app. on a network. On every other installation, this has worked like a dream.

Any suggestions on what to look at?
 
I often use the common dialog, When moving from Win98 to Win2000 I Found that the Comdlg32.ocx file was in a different Location. So it no longer worked.

This may also be the case with you. Try to re-referanceing the file. Also checkout thread181-437632
