    Resolved Searching directory structure for files

    I would have a directory structure like this:

    -Root
    ----Backups
    ------------SystemDB-11-11-04-11:05.mdb
    ------------SystemDB-12-11-04-11:05.mdb
    ------------SystemDB-13-11-04-11:05.mdb
    ------------SystemDB-14-11-04-11:05.mdb
    ------------SystemDB-15-11-04-11:05.mdb

    these folders are created to store a backup of a database everyday, then the database is copied into the folder.

    How could i search the BACKUPS folder for sub-directories containing a database (*.mdb) file starting with the string 'SystemDB'?

    Can i use the DIR function for this or is it too limited for this check?

    thanks

    I would take a look at the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile API calls.
