Thanks Paurths. That is the exact code that I used last time, and I got it from the same site too! Cheers!!
Add the ALLOWMULTISELECT flag to the code.  I checked it out and this flag is a constant in the code.  You should be able to add the flag.  You might have to add a loop around the code to return all selected files.

Might be worth while to do a search on google or some other site for the name of the api call and the word ALLOWMULTISELECT.
