I have been looking for code to browse a network for files but can find none.
Does anybody know of any code to do this??
Thanks
 


"Does anybody know of any code to do this??"

Yes, I am positive that there are!
 
plenty of samples around - but my advise is to use one of the c# projects that uses the lower level functions to do so as speed (if you find the correct one) is not beaten by any other option

Could you point me to a good one, still searching, not finding anything.
Thanks
 
you need to improve your google skills - just did a quick search and a over 600k results
list folder contents should help you

It looks like you have not done very much internet searching.

600,00 hits means nothing. None of the 600,000 hits I get have anything to do with what I am looking for.
If you know of anything out there that simply browses a network and returns a selected path, I would greatly appreciate it.

Telling me that I need improvement on my searching skills does me no help.

I am an experienced programmer, PC /Mac user since PC's were dinosaurs.

If you do not have anything constructive to say, please do not reply.

I have a genuine need for help, all I ask for is help. Together, through positive actions, we can all move forward and realize the benefits of this forum.

 
As an experienced programmer I presume you have carefully read your product documentation - but I guess you missed VBA's Application.FileDialog object.

Of course, perhaps you did find it but it didn't do what you wanted. In which case you need to explain to us which part of your requirement it fails to meet so that we can advise on a suitable replacement.

Thanks ever so much for the info on Application.Filedialog.

None of us can "Know it All" and I certainly don't. Now I know a little bit more.
This will certainly do the job for me.
Thanks again.
