Default Default Filepath question... How to???

Hello all,

I am working in VB6.0 with the common dialog control and am trying to create some code that will allow me to create/set a default filepath.

Here's what I want to do:

1) I want to bring up the common dialog control and allow the user to select a *FOLDER* (only a folder);

2) I then want to get the filepath to the selected *FOLDER* from the common dialog control,

3) I then want to close the common dialog control and store that *FOLDER* filepath in the windows registry.

The problem is this: How do you get the filepath to the selected folder from the common dialog control *without* actually "opening or saving a file"??? It can't be this hard... What am I doing wrong?!?!?

Thank you in advance,

blc
