Is there a Search function in the WinAPI for VB

[solidjp]

In my VB application, I have command buttons set up so when a user clicks on one of them an application executes. If the path to that exe is not the default location, I need it to then search all the drives mounted on that particular machine until it finds that exe name. So what is the call to that particular Search function?

Thanks

To my knowledge, there is not specific function to find a file. However, you can write your own using the FSO objects, or the intrinsic Dir function. The VB 5&6 forum, this has been published several time and you should be able to find it with a search.

Good Luck

I am sorry Cajun, but I think FindFirstFile & FindNextFile is the API to search for a file.

Look here for a full example:
