Check box beside files

[MDA]

Hi all,

I am planning a new project and need a little help...

I need to create a screen that will pull in several files that have a certain file extension. The files should be displayed in a window with the file name showing and then a checkbox to the left of each file name.

I need the user to have the ability to choose certain files, then I will perform other procedures on those chosen files.

I am not really sure where to start with this one... I know how to search for files but the hard part seems to be to show a checkbox linked to each file that appears.

Any ideas on how I could accomplish this? Or where I can look to research this further?

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated..

Regards,

Mike

may help you get started

use a standard list box with Style property set to 2

[tt]
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim sFile As String

sFile = Dir("*.exe&quot
Do While (sFile <> &quot;&quot
List1.AddItem sFile
sFile = Dir
Loop

End Sub
[/tt]

JustinEzequiel, the style property is not 2 it should be 1 there are only 2 property of style...1 and 2 which is standard and checkbox respectively.

Also if not list box then you can use list view with checkboxes property as true.

Thanks
