combobox reads directory

[Dirk]

I want to be able to browse through a directory containing
text files (*.txt), to click on one and then manipulate
it. How do I do it ?
I have, say, 5 files, t1.txt, t2.txt, t3.txt, t4.txt,
t5.txt.

I want to be able to see them in a combobox and then open
one by clicking on it.

Has anyone an idea ?

Thank you,

Dirk

Why not use the standard Windows File Open dialog box rather than a
combobox?

See http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm at "The Access Web" for
sample code, courtesy of Ken Getz.

I assume that once you have the file name, you know how to manipulate it.

Douglas,

Thanks for your answer. I do not know the syntax for the
calling of a Windows File etc. on an Access form.
I'll start to look at that website though.
