When using GetOpenFilename the panel displays files in a

I change the default directory prior to calling
GetOpenFilename?

I can't say that I've had that kind of problem with ChDir myself. Have
you tried this syntax:

chdir curdir & "/SubfolderName"

That may help to resolve the problem, since it'll use whatever the
current PC sees as the current path, regardless of the UNC path.

Usually the only "Gotcha" with ChDir is that it won't work if the
directory that you want to set as the current one is on a different
DRIVE to the current one. In that case you need to use a ChDrive
command first. However if the parent folder is opening when you use
the GetOpenFileName method, that's unlikely to be the problem here.
