Re: PFCSIG: n_cst_dwsrv_querymode

PMFJI, but on a hunch I compared the of_load() function in n_cst_dwsrv_querymode with 
a similar function I put together as an extension to w_filtersimple.  of_load() uses 
the "as_pathname" variable returned by GetOpenFileName().  

I remember that I could not get my import function to work until I  extracted the path 
from the "as_pathname" variable and appended the "as_filename" to it.  I had to do 
this because there is something odd about the way GetFileOpenName() works...I forget 
what, exactly.  But I remember that I could not just take the as_pathname argument by 
itself, which is how it's done in of_Load().

I suggest you take a look at the of_Load() function in the debugger and check out 
those arguments.  Maybe 
you'll find something unusual about the values returned by GetOpenFileName().    

BTW, I notice that of_Load() doesn't return or display any errors returned by 
ImportFile(). You might want to trap that value as well.

If you want to do some debugging, but don't want to mess with the pfc-layer code, you 
can copy the function into the pfe-layer decendant and override the ancestor.  When 
you're done debugging, you can either go back to the original pfc code, or fix the 
code and use it from the decendant.  It's not a perfect solution, but I've got a 
couple of pfc fixes that I've had to keep around since 5.0.04 (Not to mention my 
filter service extensions!)
