guys tanx for answers but it didn`t help much... as I said i am an bigginer in VB but I desperately need to make a program. i want to make it like this:

it would need just to type the names of the files I want to work with and the directory it needs to interact. the parameters between should be automatically typed and executed...

I know that this is a bit hard since I am just a bigginer but I am a fast learner... please help me...
