open local database question

[Beatrix Willius]

Hi Josef,

exchange the 

> f = GetFolderItem( mVDatabaseName )

for an OpenDialog:

  dim theDialog as new OpenDialog
  theDialog.Title = "Please select an Archive to browse..."
  theDialog.PromptText = "Only Archives with the ending "".vdb"" can be opened!"
  theDialog.Filter = FileTypes.DB
  dim theFolderitem as FolderItem = theDialog.showModal
