I want to copy or move a file I saved in a variable using FileSelectFolder. If a user presses cancel the outputvar is blank.

Here is the problem.

The outputvar is also blank if a user presses the recycle bin or only selects the top folder for My Computer, My Network Places, and top level for Entire Network.

I check for a blank variable and treat it as the user pressing Cancel.

But if they choose one of the others by mistake it appears to copy or move the file normally but of course it does not. Just looks that way to the user.

I also store the selected folder in a variable for later use. So I would like to know if the folder they chose is valid when they choose it.

FileSelectFolder should not let the user select an item that is not a folder.

How can I determine if they pressed cancel or chose one of the others that also returns a blank variable?

thanks
