    thanks guys.
    I appreciate the help. I know that I can't rely on a dialog box to
    prevent file access. But I really wanted to prevent opening the dialog
    box. But now I know that there is a bug so I at least know that my
    understanding was right,

    By the way is there any place where you guys post all these known
    issues ( i know this is not a very critical error but...) so that
    people like me who are trying to learn and use .NET would refer to
    that list in case they suspect something wrong.

    thanks
