Well, its saved as a text file, so I just want the text file to open automatically for review. Once its open with a text program (Wordpad, Notepad, etc.) then I can copy/paste the contents into Excel or whatever.

Great! One more question. How do I get it to open the file now (C:\Common Files.txt). I coud either add the code to a button or I can add the code to the Command1_Click. Either way would work. Thnks!

OK now, how do I link them ("FileList1" to "Dir1")? (I only dabble in this, I'm not a programmer.)

One more question. Can I get the Directory List box (Dir1) to "display" the actual file names? It just show the directory names. Being able to View the files in that directory would be useful. Thnx!

OK, I tried this in VB 6 and I get a Compile error "User defined type not defined" at line: Dim fso As FileSystemObject I don't know what a FileSystemObject is. Any suggestions?

Thanks Swi! To answer your questions, #1, No, don't need subfolders. #2 the list I am comparing it to is basically data sheets (paper forms). I thought it would be easy, but I can't figure out how to "Drop a directory list box" on my form. I can't find the command button in the tool list...

Hello. I would like to know if anyone can give me code to open a directory list (give a drop-down or something to allow a user to choose the directory of his choice from his computer) and then copy the "filenames" (names only, not the actual files) and paste the list of names into a text file...

I'm trying to figure out if I can place a graphic on a report that will change, based on the content of the report. I've made a database that runs stats on data in the report, and I would like the report to include a graphic (red.jpg or green.jpg or yellow.jpg) based on the result (say result...
