Allow user to pick file from local directory

Hint Short Cut: Add this to your code & documentation to help you find this page.
http://www.notesninjas.com/#PickFile or http://www.notesninjas.com/A555F9/nn.nsf/ByAlias/PickFile

Sometimes you need to allow the user to pick a file from the local directory.

This functionality is undocumented in R4.6 but is in R5.


This works in R4.6 and R5 and is documented in R5.

filepath := @Prompt([LOCALBROWSE]; "Select the file please:"; "0");

The last parameter "0" means all files."1" = .nsf only and "2" = .ntf only.

Web Services Platform Architecture: Soap, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-Bpel, WS-Reliable Messaging and More by Francisco Curbera, Frank Leymann, Tony Storey, Donald Ferguson, Sanjiva Weerawarana
Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I've seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?
