API Browse Folder Dialog - hamgs if open when closing Access

[rdemyan]

I'm using code from the following web page to open the API Browse Folder
dialog

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm

It all works fine. But if the dialog box is open and the user closes Access,
the system just hangs and Access apparantly cannot close. I have to open the
Windows Task Manager and force the closing (and even that takes quite awhile).
I'm not familiar with API coding. Is there someway to bring up this dialog
box modally, so that it has to be closed before the user can do anything else.
Thanks.

I'm using Access 2002 & I can't close Access when I have the File
Open/Save dialog box open; it is modal. So how are your users closing
Access when this dialog box is open?

I have A2003.

The API dialog box is called from one of my modal/popup forms. When it is
open, if I click the 'X' in the control box of my modal/popup form, my
modal/popup form closes. If I then click the 'X' in the control box for the
Access container, it tries to close Access. An hourglass appears and
everything hangs.

It wud seem the simple answer is not to call the File Open/Save dialog
box from a modal Access form.

It looks like it has more to do with a form being in popup mode.

When I set Modal to False with Popup to True, I still had the same problem.
When I set Modal to False and Popup to False, then the API dialog box is
truly modal and I can't close either the form or Access while it is open.
When I set Modal to True and Popup to False, then the API dialog box is truly
modal and I can't close either the form or Access while it is open.

I'd be curious to know if you see the same behaviour.

Thanks.
