Hi All

My lil App (VB6) wants to import Excel or csv files
Behind the Browse button is code based on AllAPI's GetOpenFileName
All Works Well. However!

Just can't get my head around making the windows common dialog list multiple 
file types

Can anyone supply a function where the common show open dialog can list xls, 
xlsx and csv files in it's names list.

Also:
More of a winders question than vb6 I suspect
All the common dialog boxes called by my lil app are maximized and are full 
screen, even covers the task bar, This also applies to VB6 dialog boxes such 
as Make Exe, Add New Form\Module\Class or save project As etc
All the controls are the same size as they used to be (With The VB6 dialog 
boxes), but are all in the top left corner of the form. Not a big problem 
but it does look strange.

I'm Assuming I upset something while trying to Do the first question. Any 
Ideas on how to fix?

Thanks for reading

Ivar
