Print from ' Find Files ' list box?

[dschomburg]

I am probably in the wrong forum but does anyone know how to send the results of the Find Files from the Start Menu?

I used find files of "*.mdb" on a network drive to find all of the MSAccess databases on our network. There's 540 of them!! I need a quick way to inventory these.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Well there is the print screen method but you would have to do that a couple of times and is not the easiest way. I took a look at your forums list and see that you are part of the vb forum (amoung others) so I will give you some direction in creating a program that will do it for you...

Now since you are in the API forum I will suggest that you use the API's of FindFirstFile and FindNextFile and run through your share and make a list of the files and their paths. As you find them you can use Printer.Print or print it out to a text file....

Well for that matter you can do the same at the cmd prompt...
[tt]
dir C:\a\*.mdb /s/b >C:\a\search.txt
[/tt]

Good Luck

Sorry, I don't really speak 'command prompt'
but the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile put me on the right track.


Thanks a heap!!
