I want to incorporate a file browser into my windows app so users can select which file to copy. I am running vs2008.

have you considered using the openfile dialog?

that worked.

thx

An alternative - for much more flexibility and features - see Shell MegaPack set of file and folder browser controls from http://www.ssware.com/megapack.htm

They are controls so they can be embedded in your own form.
