As the code in my earlier post comes from a book I thought it must have
worked at one point in time (authors test their stuff, don't they?).
But the above URL contains a telling phrase: "It will only be free if
you have an Application or some MS-Developer tools, like VBE on your
computer." This component seems to be available for scripting only if
certain MS products are installed. These might be MS Office or the
Visual Basic. Interesting. (MS VC++ does not help ... I have that on my
machine.) This may catch you when deploying your script to other
computers.

But I think the approach of going through the API will work, as that is
available everywhere. It will be fun figuring out the correct pack
statement for the OFNFILENAME structure, but I expect it can be done ...
