Thanks ThEiMp, I appreciate any help that I can get.

Well, it is actually VBA, so that is why some things are different then true VB. (And why I have a hell of a time trying to find an answer to my question simply by searching and copying others' codes). It's a VBA thing within my image analysis software. However, you can use pure VB in it, so if there is some way to get it to work using only visual basic, that is cool too.

The Begin command you are refering to is for the Combo box. I think that it shows up in the code that way b/c I used the "User Dialouge Box" GUI creater to make that box.

So, when it is all said and done I don't care if this works using the VBA type code or regular VB type code. As long as I can get a list of my *.env files into the combo box, and then when a user selects one from the list and presses OK that string (name from the box) or an integer is fine too, is out-put.

The goal w/ this is: These are all different count/measure setting files that get applied to images that are run through my script. And I'd like to be able to select a file, and then that is passed down in the code and applied to the image being processed. I've got it working great as long if I hard code the file name into my script, but that doesn't leave any flexability for being able to change/select a different count/measure file if I or another user wants to do so.

Again, thanks for trying to help. It is so kind. Bless the forums, and forum members!
