What's the best way to allow the user to select an existing folder or create
a new one and select. Not a file, just a folder.

Excellent. Just converting to vb.net from vb6 and didn't even know that
that control existed, but there it was! We were using an api call in vb6,
but this should be great.

And such a fast response. So helpful.

Note that there is a bug in the .NET Framework 1.1 that causes a really bad
error when using a path longer than about 128 characters. This occurs on
Unicode systems only. Use the p/invoke solutions listed below instead.
