Have you tried inserting:

> OPENFILENAME ofn;

ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));

> ofn.lStructSize =3D sizeof( OPENFILENAME_SIZE_VERSION_400 );  // =3D

unless you're sure you're setting every field, you should probably get
in the habit of doing that...

I second this advice; never forget it!

After reading on MSDN, I believe that OPENFILENAME_SIZE_VERSION_400 
is a (constant) int. sizeof( int ) is 4. You probably want to drop 
the "sizeof" in this piece of code.

PS: if you had stepped through the offending data set-up in the 
debugger, or just inspected it right before you called Windows, 
you might have caught it more quickly.

Brian: Cheers that seems to have helped, e.g. it stopped crashing and then I
also noticed (eventually) I hadn't set ofn.hInstance which seemed to finally
fixed things.

Tom: Very wierd, mine took an extra 20 minutes here. Go figure. Perhaps I
should have set the priority button in outlook :D
