I want to preform a file search from the code line, e.g. command button is pushed and there is a search for a file's path that you know is on the computer, but do not know the path of. It then displays the path. any help would be good

The fastest and easiest way would be to use the FSO (FileSystemObject)
try searching MSN for samples

Fred,
I'm pretty familiar with the FileSystemObject, yet I don't understand how it will help in this instance. Do you have any examples of code?

Yes, I can strip some code from a project and make a little 'Demo', since it's a fair bit of code and declarations, it'a bit much to post here.

If you'd like a copy, write me privately
