to prompt the user to select a file from a specific folder.
Is there a way to prevent them from deleting a file (accidentally or intentionally) while searching for one to open?
Thanks

Piggybacking on my own question. I also don't want the user to be able to navigate to any other folders. Bottom line, I want to limit them to "read only" access to the folder I choose.
If the answer is I need to create my own dialog listing files in the target folder, rather than use the built in File Open dialog, I could do that. But I prefer the simplest approach.
Thanks again.

Did you consider setting the File System Permissions?

Not exactly the question you had in mind?

Thanks, I suspected the answer was no I don't have such control when using the standard dialog. This is an enterprise-wise application, so it would not be possible for me to control permissions. Thanks, both.
