I have got my queries to work and can save the resulting tables to a specified (hard-oded) folder no problems... But what I want to do now is extend the functionality so the user can pick a folder to store the resulting tables in... I have discovered that i can get a folder path by browsing to a tab file in a folder, selecting it, then stripping the 'xxx.tab' bit off the end of the string to leave just the folder, but what if the user wants to browse to an empty folder how can i get the path of that?
