Yes, I have compiled other programs which do work. The coding below is what
I am attempting to run. Have I misapplied this code in any way ? It compiles
without error. GetDesktopWindow does not appear to be working, for some
reason. I have no clue what to do for this.

 #include <windows.h>

  WORD WINAPI SelectFile(
    HWND parent,
    const char *initial_directory,
    const char *
    title,
    char *full_name)
    {
    OPENFILENAME ofn;
    char         file_name[MAX_PATH + 1];

    ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
    ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);

    ofn.hwndOwner = parent;
    ofn.lpstrTitle = title;
    ofn.nMaxFileTitle = lstrlen(title);

    *full_name = '\0';
    ofn.lpstrFile = full_name;
    ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH + 1;

    ofn.lpstrFileTitle = file_name;
    ofn.nMaxFileTitle = MAX_PATH + 1;

    ofn.lpstrInitialDir = initial_directory;

    ofn.lpstrFilter = "Executable Files\0*.EXE\0\0";

    ofn.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST    | OFN_LONGNAMES    |
                OFN_NOREADONLYRETURN | OFN_HIDEREADONLY |
                OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST    | OFN_EXPLORER;

    SetLastError(0);

    if (!GetOpenFileName(&ofn))
      {
      DWORD errnum = CommDlgExtendedError();
      char  err_buf[512];

      wsprintf(err_buf, "File Selection Error %08X/%u", errnum);
      MessageBox(parent, err_buf, "", MB_OK);
      *full_name = '\0';
      *file_name = '\0';
      ofn.nFileOffset = (WORD) -1;
      }
    else
      {
      // create a pointer to the 1st char following the directory
      lstrcpy(file_name, full_name + ofn.nFileOffset);
      }

    return ofn.nFileOffset;
    }


  int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
    {
    char file_name[MAX_PATH + 1];

    int result = SelectFile(GetDesktopWindow(),
                 "C:\\",
                 "sumfile.exe",
                 file_name);

    if (result != -1)
      {
      MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP, file_name,
        "Selected File", MB_OK);
      }

    return 0;
    }

- Thanks -
