The FolderBrowserDialog does not all you too browse for a network
share. Is there another object that will allow this?

I can't use the OpenFileDialog because I'm not looking for a file, just
a network share.

Any ideas?

Worked for me (using .NET 1.1).  Did you not have the "My Network
Places" listed in the folder browser?

I figured it out:

I had the root folder set to "My Computer", when I change this to
"Desktop" then "My Network Places" appears.

Thanks for the response.

P.S. Quess it would have been too much for microsoft to document this
little quirk. It will allow me set the root folder to "My Computer",
"My Documents", "My Pictures" and a bunch of other folders, but not "My
Network Places". Thanks Microsoft!
