I got a bit of help with a previous question I had with the file object awhile ago. I wanted the file object to be used in conjunction with the active picture object. I wanted the user to be able to browser a fixed directory, which would changed if a global value changed. This way, they would not have to hunt for an image file to load into active picture.

Here is my goal:

If global value (n) = 1
**the file object is supposed to change to a predestined directory "from within" the application folder.

If global value (n) = 2
**the file object is supposed to change to a different predestined directory "also from within" the application folder.

I was given an example using radio buttons and a clickable button, but all they do is load the apdata folder, user directory, and mydocuments directory. I do not know the correct syntax to force the file object to remain in the application folder.

I tried using Apppath$("File") and Apppath$("File")+"\" but this was wrong syntax. If I use CurrentDirectory$("File")+"\icons\dirA\" it loads from the last accessed directory every time and never changes to the directory I want it to.

I am a very slow learner who needs visual aid for dummies :P What am I doing wrong?
