Thanks for the help, both Gambit and Vladimir.  Adding the 
NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN conditional did the trick.

In answer to Gambit's question...

I am using BCB 6.0 Professional.  Here a screenshot of what SelectDirectory 
produces on my system.  Maybe it is using newer components than Win 3.1, but 
I actually don't remember what Win 3.1 really looked like (I was young). 
Either way, I don't like the way it works well enough to want to use it. 
Now that I know how to use SHBrowseForFolder I'll probably just have to 
stick with that.
