This is related to a bug fix that is in 2008r4

GetFolderItem was in fact not behaving as documented

Since the change to how RB builds Windows apps this bug existed and
GetFolderItem was, as your tests show, NOT giving you back a reference
to the dir enclosing the application

Now it does

FYI you could just use
        source = GetfolderItem("msmArchiveReader Libs")

Norman -

Thanks to you and Aaron, who also sent a note. That explains why I had such a hard time getting it to work in v3.1 and finally resorted to trial and error. Fix was easy enough for v4.

'nuther topic...
Now, about that disappearing cursor in the v4 code editor... seems like it had the same problem a few releases ago. That's the only bug that seems to be afflicting me at the moment, but I have no idea what causes it. It seems to just happen. Restart seems to cure it for awhile.

Thanks,
Robert
