Thanks, Patrick, but still no go here, I'm afraid. Tried putting in other
valid drives / paths, all attempts failed to run. Same error msg, same debug
line.

Even tried changing the debug line to say,:
..FileName = "*.bmp"
but it still failed to clear this line

Try looking in another drive - D is
often used for CD/DVD
