this works ... but i think the use of LoadWithPartialName has been deprecated. i can't find the "new way" at this time, tho. [blush] 

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") |
    Out-Null
$SelectFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$SelectFileDialog.InitialDirectory = 'c:\temp'
$SelectFileDialog.Filter = 'Extensionless files (*)|*'
$SelectFileDialog.Title = 'Please select a file and then click [OK]'
$SelectFileDialog.ShowDialog() |
    Out-Null
$SelectFileDialog.FileName

I believe it'll work if you remove | Out-Null from this line

$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog | Out-Null
