there could be several ways to do something like that.
if you're in vba you could use the old fashioned drivelistbox dirlistbox and
filelistbox controls
that's probably tacky to some, but requires minimal coding to get what you
describe.
if you're in vb or don't want to use a filelistbox you could use the vb
function dir() to step through files and add them to a listbox.
altenately you can use the win api to avoid the dir() function if you prefer
api type methods.
is that any help?
