path looking through files

[johnnyboy23]

i want to be able to click my command button and the windows exploring start menu comes up then takes me to a set path of eg c:/windows/datafile/
where i can see all the files in that path
how do you do that,an API maybe??????

Do you mean, open a folder?

Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal _
lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal _
lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal _
nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Public Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "C:\Windows", vbNullString, "c:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL

Or do you want to list the files in a listbox?

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim FileFinder
    List1.Clear
    FileFinder = Dir("C:\Windows\")
    Do Until FileFinder = ""
    List1.AddItem LCase(FileFinder)
    FileFinder = Dir
    Loop
End Sub
