Find a file

[emergencyplan]

Hello,

I would like to be able to look for a file using code, for example C:\Access.exe, or could be G:\Access.exe. I know the file name but not the path.

I'm pretty new to VB so be kind!

Any ideas, many thanks.

Laurence

emergencyplan, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet?

To search for a file you have several options that you can use and lookup in the help files...

Dir function (you can automate)
Common Dialog (user searchs not automatic)
File System Object (FSO) (you can automate)
Drive, Dir, and File controls (you can automate or user)
FindFirstFile, FindNextFile API's (you can automate)

plus a few more

Good Luck
