Error description

• Symphony macro "filepicker" doesn't work on Windows 7 and Vista.
  The same macro works in OpenOffice.org on Windows 7 and Vista.
  
  This "filepicker" macro is described in Lotus Symphony Wiki:
  CreateUnoService Function [Runtime].
  http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lswiki.nsf/dx/CreateUnoService_Funct
  ion_Runtime_ls301
  
  The macro is the following:
  ---------------
  REM  *****  BASIC  *****
  
  Sub Main
  
  fName = FileOpenDialog ("Please select a file")
  
  print "file chosen: "+fName
  
  End Sub
  
  function FileOpenDialog(title as String) as String
  
  filepicker =
  createUnoService("com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker")
  
  filepicker.Title = title
  
  filepicker.execute()
  
  End function
  ---------------
  
  When you execute the above macro on Symphony, FilePicker dialog
  is not opened on Windows 7 and Vista.
  FilePicker dialog is opened on Windows XP.
  
  And when you execute the above macro on OpenOffice.org 3.2.1,
