directory and file listing

[Guest]

In a form, is there a way to create 2 seperate text boxes where one would
display the network drives and the other a file listing in that drive?

Basically, I would like to create something like a file manager. I saw
something in the additional ActiveX controls for "File Manager" but it did
absolutely nothing.

I have created this type of thing before using VB as a stand alone
application but not within access (nor can I remember how I did it....)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Here is a site that has some code that may be useful for determining all your
local and network drives.

Once you have that, you can use the Dir() function to get the file listing.

Test boxes would not be the way to do this. Consider using List Boxes
instead.
