    MS Access - drive and folder lists

    Hi guys,

    I have two questions to ask to get the same solution...

    1. How do you create a drive/folder/ file listing on an access form?

    or

    2. Is there a reference library that I can add to get dedicated combo and list boxes???


    Sorry - I didn't know whether this belongs in database development or office development.

    What do you mean by "dedicated combo"'s?

    You could add a reference to VB 6's dir and file listboxes but then the db will have a dependancy of needing those files if you distribute your db.

    Yep those are the dedicated combo boxes I was talking about... the file and dir listboxes... I didn't know what they were called... what's the library that I can use to reference them?

    My program won't be distributed... it's just the one instance with a single user.

    Thanks in advance

    I could have sworn I have see or done it before but it wont allow the reference to the control to be added. Other controls are fine but not any of the mscomctl controls.
