Anyone having issues with ilogic print rules that use " Import System.Windows.Forms" with Windows 11? it opens the Window dialog box looking only at my desktop. Will not allow me access to any other location.

Import System.Windows.Forms

' Creates a 'folder browser' to allow user to pick a directory location' This selected directory location is then used for a PDF export operation

    
' Get current location of this file
Dim ExportPath As String = ThisDoc.Path
oFolder = "C:\Work\Designs\CIW Check Print\"

' Check that this file has been saved and actually exists on disk
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(ExportPath) Then
    MsgBox("This file has not yet been saved and doesn't exist on disk! - please save it first",64, "Formsprag iLogic")
Return
End If

' Define folder browse dialog
Dim Dialog = New FolderBrowserDialog()

' Set options for folder browser dialog
Dialog.SelectedPath = ExportPath
Dialog.ShowNewFolderButton = True
Dialog.Description = "Choose Folder for Export..."

' Show dialog box
If DialogResult.OK = Dialog.ShowDialog() Then
    ' User clicked 'ok' on dialog box - capture the export path
    ExportPath = Dialog.SelectedPath & "\"
    
Else
    ' User clicked 'cancel' on dialog box - exit
    Return
End If

oFileName = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension
oRevNum = iProperties.Value("Custom", "REV LEVEL")



Select Case MsgBox("Save current PDF as CHECK SET?", vbYesNo, "IS THE PDF FOR RELEASE OR CHECK? ")
Case vbYes 
	ExportFilename = oFileName & " CHECK SET" & ".pdf"
	ExportPath = oFolder
	
'Check for the ExportPath folder and create it if it does not exist

	If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(oFolder) Then
	System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(oFolder)
	End If
	
Case vbNo  
	ExportFilename = oFileName & " REV-" & oRevNum & ".pdf"
	ExportPath = Dialog.SelectedPath & "\"

End Select

Shell("explorer.exe " & oFolder, vbNormalFocus)

'' Define the filename of the file to be exported
'' In this Case it Is a PDF file extension
'ExportFilename = oFileName & ".pdf"

'oPDFAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById _
'("{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}")
'oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
'oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
'oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism
'oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
'oDataMedium = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium

''set PDF Options
'If oPDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then
'oOptions.Value("All_Color_AS_Black") = 1
'oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = 1
'oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
'oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintSheetRange
'End If

' Do export operation (using save as)
Try
    ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ExportPath & ExportFilename, True)
Catch
    MsgBox("File export failed...", 64, "Formsprag iLogic")
End Try



    ThisDoc.Launch(ExportPath & ExportFilename)
