Message: [QUOTE="Mike Williams, post: 14165114"] You can't teach yourself anything in 24 hours, except perhaps how to tie your shoe laces! Do you actually have the Properties window open and visible? If not then right click the OpenFileDialog Control and select Properties. Then in the Properties window left click the little button immediately to the left of the button that looks like a lightning bolt to senure that it is displaying Properties rather than Events. Then scroll down the list and you should see the Filter property, against which you can type in some text . . . although setting a value for that specific property at design time in this way is not usually a very useful thing to do . . . Erm, well, Yes. Typing code by hand is a good thing to do. It's called "programming" ;-) In fact instead of doing what I have half heartedly suggested above it would be far better to left click the OpenFileDialog Dialog control and then hit the F1 key on your keyboard (after first making sure that you are connected to the Internet). When you want help with anything you are doing then that is always the very first thing you should do (left click on whatever you want help with and hit the F1 key). If you scroll down the help file page which appears when you have done the above you will see the various Properties and Methods and Events which are applicable to the OpenFileDialog. Have a look for the Filter property and read the brief description of what it does. Then left click the word "Filter" and another help file page will open containing more information about the Filter property and some code examples. Yes. You missed the F1 key. Make F1 your friend ;-) Mike [/QUOTE]
