Browsing to web folder (MS-Sharepoint) in VB6

I've used Common Dialog Box in my VB6 program to let user browse to a desired file. However we use MS-Sharepoint to store many of our documents, so we reference them through MyNetworkPlaces which are linked to the appropriate webfolder. When the user browses to one of these folders (using my VB6 application using cd1.showopen), cd1.filename returns "“C:\Documents and Settings\<usename>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Contents.IE5\XXXXXX\filename.doc” instead of "http://sharepoint.site.ca/group/folder/filename.doc"
It works fine for mapped network drives.

Is there another file browser that I can use in VB6 that will handle this?
I've tried VB's directory list box control and also library function SHGetPathFromIDList. Neither of these accept webfolders.

Thanks.
